This epic musical of biblical proportions features music and lyrics by Broadway legend Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell) and a book by Award winning Philip LaZebnik (Mulan, Pocahontas).
“I’m excited that Prince of Egypt is going to receive its premiere production in the Washington, D.C. area, presented by Triune Entertainment. I couldn’t be more pleased that a theatre company with the reputation of Triune Entertainment wants to do our show, and I’m eager to see the result. I’m sure it will be spectacular,” commented LaZebnik.
Journey through the wonders of Ancient Egypt as Ramses and Moses, two young men raised together as brothers in a kingdom of privilege, find themselves suddenly divided by a secret past.
