is transformed into a visually spectacular, dramatically overblown meld of dance, music, video and, best of all, breathtaking aerial acrobatics in Anne Tournié’s international staging opening on Broadway tonight at the Broadway Theatre.
Staying true to the book’s plot and spirit, with only a few storyline excisions that might disappoint Saint-Exupéry die-hards ,is less a standard Broadway musical than a Cirque du Soleil-style entertainment making a New York spring and summer stopover on a tour that’s already included Paris, Sydney and Dubai.– as compared with, perhaps, a Las Vegas residency – will be determined by audiences, but the production certainly delivers on the visual panache.
The stage production presents each of these tales – the Prince’s doomed love affair with a Rose, his encounters, on other planets, with a king with no subjects, a greedy, star-collecting businessman, a shameful drunk, a selfie-taking narcissist, a rule-following lamplighter and, on Earth, a devilish snake, a flirtatious fox, and a Railway Switchman.
The same can be said of Peggy Housset fanciful, colorful costumes and the dazzling lighting design by Stéphane Fritsch.
