Exodus

I must admit I haven't seen the movie The Prince of Egypt (the one with Val Kilmer voicing Moses) but I thought I'd see The Prince of Egypt: Live from the West End, as I don't often go to the theater and see musicals. Anyway, The Prince of Egypt: Love from the West End probably worked better by being in the audience in person, rather than seeing it on the television screen like I did init. Anyway, I liked how at the end you got to see the audience giving a standing ovation, and it was a sign of the times that many were masked because of the pandemic at the time. I would have liked for Val Kilmer to make a guest appearance.

When you believe

What an absolute beautiful show, it's very well done. Very well thought out, I really don't understand all the bad reviews people writing about the bad costumes and giving the show a bad review, don't get it, because it was so beautiful quite touching when the start to Sing when you believe, the person that played the Queen of Egypt was born to play that part Very talented cast and production I just don't understand why people are given this bad reviews o really enjoyed it and seeing it live was amazing the sound and setting was very effective Bart large cast of 38 and very well done would love to see this on tour.

Let My People Not See This

First of all, I am a Jew who has read the Torah and knows the story of Moses very well. Second, I am a big fan of the original movie which does the actual story of Moses justice. This musical changes things in extremely unnecessary and convoluted ways. At one point the pharoah Ramses makes a deal with Moses that he will free the slaves if Moses joins him. Moses agrees to this. This is an absurd change considering in the original story Ramses hardens his heart and doesn't free the slaves so he can keep his kingdom strong. He also promised his dying father, Seti, that he will not be the weak link in the chain. In the musical Ramses goes back on his word to Moses and keeps the Hebrews enslaved which also makes him a liar and a coward. At the end of the show Ramses survives and is all buddy buddy with Moses. Moses also doesn't even go to the top of Mount Sinai and get the Ten Commandments which is literally the most important part to the story. The production and additional music were nice but nowhere near enough to save this travesty.
