The Prince of Egypt Musical in London’s West End has been filmed for release.

Adapted from the 1998 DreamWorks animated movie, The Prince of Egypt musical opened at the Dominion Theatre in London in February 2020.

Unfortunately shows were quickly cancelled when the pandemic forced theatres to shutdown. The production reopened from 1 July 2021 and previously announced it would play its final performance on 8 January 2022.

However there’s good news, with the West End production captured in camera for broadcast. Details about the release are to be announced.
