Note 3: Le Petit Prince Musical
"This
[musical] goes straight to the heart." —New York Newsday
Adapted from the famous novella written by Antoine De Saint-Exupery,
The Little Prince tells the story of a pilot's unexpected crash landing in the
Sahara Desert. While in the desert, the pilot meets the Little Prince --- a
young boy from another planet. The Prince shares his unique adventures that he
experienced while traveling throughout the solar system.
Filled with enchanting music and
heartfelt lyrics, The Little Prince Musical has been touted by critics around
the country for its sophisticated appeal to all ages. I believe that everyone
must have read the book The Little Prince when we’re children, but few of us
notice that we can now see the little prince on stage, singing, and dancing! The
musical version is a radical
interpretation of the Little Prince with music that's just modern enough, and
just otherworldly enough. Besides the
music, the musical version with its unique features of live drawing as part of
the action and a planetarium environment provides a great deal of room for
directorial concepts, allowing for either the most elaborate or simplest of
productions.
Now I would like to share some of the musical numbers I highly
recommend you to listen. In the opening, the narrator sings a song named <dedication, Dedicace>, the lyrics is
about the reason why he dedicate this children’s book to the adult. It points
out the theme of the musical: “All grown-ups were once children… but only few
of them remember it.” I was touched when reading the book, and hearing someone
sings out the line still makes my tears drop. Then the little prince talks about
the rose in his planet,<By her side, Pres d'elle>. This song is my favorite one in the musical. Not
to mention the beautiful rhythm and the warm lyrics, the clean voice of the
little singer starred the little prince make the concept of love to be the most
purest thing in the world.
If you ever love the novella The Little Prince, then you should never miss it's musical version!
