thedailymirror--2020-02-24--The Prince of Egypt musical cast on differences from cartoon and racial diversity

It 's been 20 years and then some since The Prince of Egypt , the iconic animated classic from Dreamworks graced our screens , delighting kids and adults alike with its cinematographic animation and catchy songs .
And now , after earlier showings at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley and in Denmark , a significantly revised version created especially for the stage is getting a 32-week run at the Dominion Theatre .
Whether you know the film or the biblical story of Moses and the plagues , taking on such a big tale and re-packaging it for a new medium is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no doubt shy away from .
Mirror Online sat down with some of the cast and creatives tasked with bringing this revamped show to the West End to talk about the challenges involved in putting together such an epic story on this scale .
The first thing you need to know is , if you want a straight-up adaptation of the 1998 classic , you 're in the wrong place .
Quite apart from the fact the cast are , in the words of Luke Brady ( Moses ) `` not cartoons '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite as you remember it .
While it may feature five of the songs we all know and love - yes , including When You Believe - we 've got more songs ( ten new in total ) , more characters , and more minutes to get to know them all in .
According to composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz , who was part of the original team behind the songs from the film , the dialogue present in this version is about 90 % new , and has changed quite significantly to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most of the cast were fans of the film , it 's not something they dwell on too much when it comes to bringing their own versions of the characters to life .
Alexia Khadime , who plays Moses ' sister Miriam , told us : `` Yeah , I remember when it came out .
It was a big one , and everyone thought it was Disney .
Nope ! ''
`` The reason why I loved the film is that Dreamworks were absolute opposite to Disney ; they didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite gritty , even the style of the animation , and I think that ’ s why I loved it , but equally I loved the music '' , said Liam Tamne , who plays Ramses the Great .
Christine Allado ( Moses ' wife Tzipporah ) was definitely a fan .
`` I hadn ’ t watched it in years and I re-watched it when we started rehearsals , and I was like 'How did I watch this as a child ? '
'' `` The themes in it are larger than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even imagine as a child , but I do think - because I connected with it at that age - there has to be something in it for everybody , no matter what you ’ re going through , no matter creed , race , cultural background you ’ re from , there is something in there.
`` But not everyone grew up watching the film ; for Luke Brady ( Moses ) , coming into the musical with no prior knowledge was a good thing .
`` My first experience of actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ script , which was like a hidden blessing to me because I had no preconceived ideas .
I knew the story , but I didn ’ t know *this* story .
`` It enabled me to sort of develop this understanding of who Moses was , and Ramses , and all of the characters within this piece to have a separate experience from the movie .
`` And then realising what it means to so many people , is incredibly humbling and the responsibility is there to give what so many people have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but then to hopefully marry it with something we bring , that ’ s our own thing , which I think is important to translate - because we ’ re not cartoons . ''
`` One of the important things I ’ d like to stress as well is that our play is essentially not the 2D characters people see on the animated film , '' said Liam .
`` You 're getting 3D , you ’ re seeing and discovering more , you ’ re knowing why decisions were made , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story , and I think that ’ s why it ’ s so important .
`` Like Luke said , we ’ re not cartoons , we ’ re people , and it relates to the modern day equally even though it ’ s set in a certain time . ''
But are there pressures bringing something both loved and new to the stage ?
Not for the director , Scott Schwartz .
`` It is a massive story , and it 's a film as well that 's known for it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but rather than daunting , I find it thrilling to translate it to stage , because what we 're not trying to do is replicate the movie .
`` It is the story of the movie , and the main characters are the same - though there are actually a couple of characters in the show who are n't in the movie - there 's a lot of new songs , there 's a lot of new writing , so the wonderful challenge has been to figure out how to make this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ filmic event .
`` We 've developed a language together , Sean and I , that is really based in physical theatre , where the actors create the world before your eyes out of their bodies . ''
The Sean in question is choreographer Sean Cheeseman , who has been working on the show along with Scott for the last three years .
`` I think also to the credit of Scott , he 's being a little modest , is that what I do love about our production is I think it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ replicate the movie ; to have just one giant screen and have everything on that screen that was like the movie .
`` But , coming up with this language that Scott 's been talking about where we create chariots and we use water out of physical theatre and dance , I think is what makes it so interesting and so cool to watch . ''
`` It ’ s based on the animations , but we ’ re not trying to be the cartoon versions on stage , we ’ re the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t think there ’ s necessarily a pressure per se , '' reflects Alexia .
`` I would say it ’ s just our interpretation , the text is honest , so all you can do is play it , what ’ s written on the page . ''
`` As an actress , all you can do is bring yourself to whatever it is and that ’ s the most honest and truthful way to bring forth a character , '' added Christine .
`` You ’ ll get people saying “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” or “ him to be this ” , but it does n't matter . ''
According to Luke : `` If you ’ re originating something , in this case yeah we do have a responsibility to the people that know the animation , but no-one knows what this is like for us , no-one ’ s done it .
`` So there is that element of - it ’ s a spark , it ’ s exciting , because we ’ re making it . ''
`` It is something we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ historically , are so well-known , that essentially we are the next level of The Prince of Egypt and that ’ s - fingers crossed - going to go down in history as a really good musical , that will hopefully stand the test of time , '' added Liam .
One of the most iconic songs from the show , When You Believe , was made famous by the powerhouse pop rendition from Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey , but Alexia and Christine are keen to point out that version has always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the film .
`` Of course I want to live my best Whitney life , '' jokes Alexia , `` but it is very different .
It doesn ’ t feel like that version . ''
`` From a technical point it ’ s higher , so you can ’ t actually just do the riffs… and it comes in the show at a moment where it has to come from truth , '' says Christine .
`` And that ’ s more effective .
It kind of catches the audience by surprise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it the most . ''
`` At the same time it ’ s unexpected , so people don ’ t know when it ’ s coming , '' says Alexia , `` and it ’ s the one that everyone will probably know . ''
`` I think you spend the whole show waiting , “ when is it coming ” , and it kind of overwhelms you , '' adds Christine .
With the debate about the lack of diversity on the West End still in full flow , be it the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stories and who is telling them , in this company at least , there is no issue .
`` I think that definitely , in our show , I would definitely say it really is beautiful , and I love that anyone actually , of any race can step into any of our characters .
`` We had this moment in rehearsals where we went round the room and saying where we were from and stuff , and it was like 'oh my gosh , that ’ s amazing ' .
Being a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it really does .
`` I think in terms of the West End we do still have some ways to go , but I can ’ t say enough , in this company , I love that they ’ ve done that , I can not applaud them any more .
They ’ ve really done it .
`` Aaron ’ s my brother in the piece , and he ’ s not black , he ’ s white , so that ’ s what I love… nobody questions it , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
A story ’ s being told and everyone just gets on board , not why is that person ?
No , none of that . ''
But it 's not just the diversity of the cast that is obvious , but the audience .
`` One of the most beautiful things that I ’ ve been experiencing in the show is looking out into the audience and just seeing a sea of diversity , '' says Christine .
`` And when I meet people at the stage door , everyone is from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had that .

As The Prince of Egypt musical prepares to open on London's West End, we speak to the cast and creators about the pressures of adapting the much-loved animated film for the stage
It's been 20 years and then some since The Prince of Egypt, the iconic animated classic from Dreamworks graced our screens, delighting kids and adults alike with its cinematographic animation and catchy songs.
And now, after earlier showings at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley and in Denmark, a significantly revised version created especially for the stage is getting a 32-week run at the Dominion Theatre.
Whether you know the film or the biblical story of Moses and the plagues, taking on such a big tale and re-packaging it for a new medium is a daunting task, and one many would no doubt shy away from.

The first thing you need to know is, if you want a straight-up adaptation of the 1998 classic, you're in the wrong place.
Quite apart from the fact the cast are, in the words of Luke Brady (Moses) "not cartoons", the story itself might not be quite as you remember it.
While it may feature five of the songs we all know and love - yes, including When You Believe - we've got more songs (ten new in total), more characters, and more minutes to get to know them all in.
According to composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, who was part of the original team behind the songs from the film, the dialogue present in this version is about 90% new, and has changed quite significantly to its last outing in Denmark.
While most of the cast were fans of the film, it's not something they dwell on too much when it comes to bringing their own versions of the characters to life.

"As an actress, all you can do is bring yourself to whatever it is and that’s the most honest and truthful way to bring forth a character," added Christine.
"You’ll get people saying “no I imagine her to be this” or “him to be this”, but it doesn't matter."

10 Years Younger contestant was dubbed 'unrecognisable' by her kids after undergoing a dramatic makeover to get rid of her 'dowdy' looks
10 Years Younger mum is 'unrecognisable' to kids after scrapping 'dowdy' looks in makeover
A mum-of-three who appeared on 10 Years Younger was "unrecognisable" to her daughters after abolishing her "dowdy" appearance with a dramatic makeover.
Gail, 54, who is a farmer from Northumberland, was guessed to be an average age of 64 by the British public when she stepped foot onto the show.
But after a complete transformation on the Channel 5 programme in just 10 days, Gail looked like a brand new woman - sporting an ice blonde pixie haircut, better fitting dentures and a touch of Botox.
Her children were left gobsmacked at the brand new look, and were blown away by their mother's appearance.

Fortunately for Gail, her age was guessed as 49 after the huge change to her appearance.
She told Fabulous magazine : "When you are a mother, your kids don't care how you look because your face is a face they will love - whether you look amazing or you don't.
"I was doing nothing - I just turned into this saggy old cushion on the corner of a saggy old couch. I just sat there, becoming gradually more and more invisible, more and more squashed."

She admitted her self-esteem had dropped and she became completely overwhelmed at what she should and shouldn't have been doing.
"Getting that advice, it's indescribable really," Gail continued.
Show presenter Cherry Healey asked members of the public what they actually thought on Gail's look.
Audience members revealed "she looks a bit dowdy", "her skin looks wrinkly, I can see it's a bit old and saggy", and "I don't think this woman has a lot of style".
Gail told The Sun publication that opinions from strangers didn't matter, as her partner Andrew and daughters Isabella, 19, Georgina, 16, and Lydia, 14 are the only ones who do.
She was left utterly surprised by her own looks, saying it was "really quite remarkable".
Gail said she went from "a face that I didn't really recognise" to "one that I did", and admitted she now feels like "that kick-a** person again".

Disney's Shanghai and Hong Kong theme parks remain closed for more than a month, and the company earlier this month warned of a negative impact on its second quarter results.
It said on an earnings call on Feb. 5 that closure of the Shanghai park could impact operating profit by about $135 million if closed for two months.
In another drastic move, the northern island of Hokkaido, which has seen the largest number of cases in Japan, late on
Friday declared a state of emergency. Its population of about 5 million people, including residents of Sapporo city, were told to refrain from venturing outside their homes over the weekend.

Abe's unprecedented move on Thursday to ask local authorities to shut schools means students will be out from Monday at least until the new academic year starts in early April.
The abrupt step drew scathing criticism, with health officials left scratching their heads and analysts saying the plan was politically motivated and made little sense.
Local authorities also criticised the move and at least one prefecture and several cities rejected the request.
"I'm going to have to babysit my grandkids every other day," business owner Mieko Hamada, 56, told Reuters on her way to their house in central Tokyo.
"My daughter works and can't look after them, and their babysitter also refused. It's utter chaos," she said, adding that while she had her own business to run she had no choice but to ask subordinates to cover for her.
