If You Loved The Original, You Need To See This
27 January 2024
Ever since I saw The Prince of Egypt for the first time ever nearly 2 years ago, I have been completely obsessed with it ever since. I have the film on Blu-Ray and digital and have the soundtrack and have seen it at least a few dozen times. But when I heard it was converted into a musical, I immediately checked to see if it was available to watch. Once I saw that it was, I rented it right away. While it's not as entertaining nor "enjoyable" as the original film, it's still worth watching. The songs added in are really decent and full of emotion, as if they were actually from the film, which wasn't surprising considering they were all written by Stephen Schwartz who also did the film as well. The costumes are absolutely stunning and beautiful. The dance moves are mind-blowing and leave you wondering "how did they do that so flawlessly?" while still keeping your eyes glued to the screen. The visual effects/lighting/etc are also breathtaking. Makes me wish I had known about this film earlier so I could've seen this play in person, but oh, well. If you love the film, you need to see this!!
