Produced by Broadway Entertainment Group, following performances in Paris, Sydney and Dubai and a season on Broadway, The Little Prince, marking the 80th anniversary of its publication in French, will visit London's Coliseum for its UK première, 12–16 March, in a new stage production.
Olivier Agay, great nephew of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, said, ‘"from book to stage, now The Little Prince is an adventure beyond the pages, breathing new life into a timeless story. This production is more than a show, it’s an homage to the wonder of childhood, echoing the innocence and wisdom Saint-Exupéry so beautifully captured. This production touches the souls and hearts of all who watch, gently reminding us how to see the world anew with the pure, simple eyes of a child, and inspiring us to let our imaginations soar to the farthest reaches of the universe. The Little Prince on stage stands as a tribute to the eternal child within, inviting us to rediscover dreams long forgotten and gaze at the stars with renewed wonder."
Director Anne Tournié added, "on his journey, the Little Prince shares a message of humanity with the many different people and cultures he encounters. We are humbled to bring his story of friendship, loneliness, love, and caring for others and our planet back to the melting pot where Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first created this beloved tale."
The production will be performed in French with English surtitles.
