The story
Two brothers. One kingdom. A journey out of Egypt.
The story of Moses, told through one of the great modern scores.
The Prince of Egypt is the stage musical of the DreamWorks animated film, telling the story of Moses and Rameses: two brothers raised together in the Egyptian royal household, whose bond breaks when Moses learns he was born a Hebrew slave. What follows is exile, return, the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea, but the show plays it as a drama about family, duty and faith rather than spectacle alone. Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell) wrote the music and lyrics, keeping the songs from the film, including "Deliver Us", "All I Ever Wanted" and the Academy Award winning "When You Believe", and adding new numbers written for the stage. The book is by Philip LaZebnik. Willenhall Musical Theatre Company stages it in April 2027.

Tickets
£22.50, one price, every seat
Front row or back row, stalls or circle, a Wednesday night or the Saturday, every ticket for The Prince of Egypt costs the same. There is no premium seat and no cheap seat, in a room of 344 with a clear view of the stage from anywhere in it.
And there is no booking fee. Willenhall Musical Theatre Company absorbs the Seaty charge and the card charge itself instead of passing them on, so the price you see on the seating plan is the price that leaves your account. Nothing is added at checkout.

Before you book
Running time and content
150
Minutes
The box office records the running time as 150 minutes, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
What the story contains
The Prince of Egypt tells the story of Moses and Rameses, and that story includes the plagues visited on Egypt and the death of the firstborn. Every telling of it handles those scenes differently, on stage as much as on screen, and the company has not published anything about how this production stages them. We are not going to guess on a page a parent might be reading.
Interval. Not confirmed. Nothing in the company's records says whether the 150 minutes includes an interval, or how long an interval would be.
Age guidance. There is no age guidance and no content warning for this production yet. When the company sets one, it will go here.
Captioned, signed and relaxed performances. None are listed for any of the six dates, and we cannot confirm whether that means none are planned.
Concessions and group rates. Not confirmed. The only price the box office holds for this production is £22.50.
No box office telephone number or email address is recorded anywhere in the company's own records, so we are not going to print one. The Facebook page is the channel the company does keep, and show news lands there first.
