The Little Prince (musical)

The Little Prince is a theatrical production based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s 1943 story The Little Prince that features dance, circus arts, video production and acrobatics. Tournié and Mouron began adapting the show for the stage in 2018.[1] The show is directed and choreographed by Anne Tournié and ran in Paris, Dubai and Sydney before arriving on Broadway in spring 2022.[2] The Sydney engagement marked the city's first major international production since the COVID-19 lockdown.[3][4]

Cast included Lionel Zalachas as the Little Prince, co-director Chris Mouron as The Narrator, Aurélien Bednarek as The Aviator together with a large ensemble cast.[5] The Broadway production was slated to run from March through August at the Broadway Theatre but on April 26, it announced it would close on May 8 after receiving poor reviews.[6][7]
