THE PRINCE OF EGYPT - Show Information
The Prince of Egypt is a sweeping epic of a musical with music and lyrics by Grammy and Oscar winner Stephen Schwartz, a book by Philip LaZebnik, and 10 new songs written by Schwartz, together with five of his songs from the DreamWorks Animation film. The show also features Schwartz’s Academy Award-winning song, “When You Believe.”
Journey through the wonders of Ancient Egypt as Ramses and Moses, two young men raised together as brothers in a kingdom of privilege, find themselves suddenly divided by a secret past. One must rule as Pharaoh, the other must rise up and free his true people; both face a destiny that will change history forever.
A Note on Casting from The Prince of Egypt Writers - Philip LaZebnik & Stephen Schwartz
From the very beginning of working on The Prince of Egypt theatrical musical, we wanted to tell a universal story that spans all racial and ethnic divides, and so we always felt it was important to have a diverse cast whenever possible. In the various productions up to date, we have had a Sri Lankan Moses, a Filipino Tzipporah, a Palestinian Tzipporah, a black Ramses, a Chinese Keturah, and countless other permutations. The point is that anyone, no matter what their background, can play any role. In many productions, our diverse casts have tripled as Egyptians, Hebrews and Midianites. And in all our productions, we have found that audiences have wholeheartedly embraced and enjoyed this idea of inclusion. That’s a central message of The Prince of Egypt: in the end, when we strip away the circumstances of our birth and upbringing, we are all the same as members of the human race. We hope you will embrace this universal story and make it your own, bringing the musical and the message to your own community.
JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH - Show Information
Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach is now a musical for the whole family to enjoy! Featuring a wickedly tuneful score by the Tony Award-nominated team of Pasek and Paul (Dogfight and A Christmas Story the Musical) and a curiously quirky book by Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley), critics rave: James and the Giant Peach is a "masterpeach!"
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.
A delightfully offbeat adaptation of the classic Roald Dahl adventure, the creative possibilities with James and the Giant Peach are endless. Actors will love playing the outlandish characters and performing brand new material from one of Broadway's hottest duos.
