The Little Prince

The Little Prince description

You write a book. Eighty years pass. Your novel has been translated almost as often as the bible and has sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. Welcome to the UK Premiere of The Little Prince stage production, a gorgeous classic that never grows old and always captivates, whatever your age.

Having thrilled audiences in Paris, Sydney and Dubai, selling out everywhere it landed, the production also scored a big hit on Broadway. Now it's on stage in the capital for 2025.

The story follows the Little prince, a boy who's on a marvellous cosmic adventure. An aviator is lost in the desert when he comes across the boy, who has travelled from planet to planet looking for a sheep, on the way meeting a series of amazing characters who communicate via dance, movement and gestures. The magical story that unfolds is told by an omnipresent narrator, appealing to people of every age thanks to the many deeper meanings hidden in the plot. Expect excitement, colour, dance, music, projections and acrobatics, a treat for anyone who loves to explore both the outer and inner universe.
