Cinema-goers are in for a special treat this week with Oban Phoenix Cinema hosting two screenings of The Prince of Egypt: The Musical.
Based on the classic DreamWorks Animation film and featuring Stephen Schwartz’s “miraculous music” (Time Out) – including his Academy Award-winning song When You Believe – and Sean Cheesman’s “astonishing choreography” (The Guardian), this epic, critically acclaimed production tells an inspiring tale of resilience and hope.
With an original London cast and orchestra of more than 60 artists, this spectacular stage show – one of the biggest musicals every staged, was filmed live at the Dominion Theatre in London and comes to cinemas for the first time.
Live fire effects, illusions, pyrotechnics and performer flying, together with state-of-the-art projections, video and sound designs, are all utilised to deliver the theatrical spectacle.
Journey through the wonders of Ancient Egypt as two young men, raised together as brothers in a kingdom of privilege, find themselves suddenly divided by a secret past.
One must rule as Pharaoh, the other must rise up and free his true people; both face a destiny that will change history forever.
The stage show has received rave reviews across the board, so this is definitely a theatrical experience you will not want to miss.
The Prince of Egypt: The Musical is showing at Oban Phoenix Cinema on Thursday October 19 at 7pm and Sunday October 22 at 3pm. For more information and to book tickets, visit www.obanphoenix.com/movie/the-prince-of-egypt-the-musical
