The Prince of Egypt

An earnest, delightful mess

Explosive dancing, clever magic tricks, great costumes, brilliant use of video backdrop, stunning special effects and faultless voices

It’s only fair to report that the audience around me seemed entirely satisfied and were very enthusiastic with their whoops

It may not work miracles, but as a stage version of an animated classic, The Prince of Egypt delivers in spades

The most memorable element of the show is Sean Cheesman’s fantastic choreography

While newcomers will know no different, I fear fans of the film will be left wanting to return to the animation

There are moments in The Prince of Egypt which are truly stunning, but there are just as many that fall flat

This mammoth stage adaptation is more splashy than spiritual

The songs are sublime in Stephen Schwartz’s adaptation of his Biblical cartoon, but the rest is a muddle

Inconsistent stage adaptation of the animated film that boasts a great score by Stephen Schwartz but lacks atmosphere and magic

Moses' story told in good faith and with blistering bible-belters

A confused story, poor performances and mediocre songs – THE PRINCE OF EGYPT is extremely disappointing

Struggles to deliver any miracles of its own

This new stage adaptation unfortunately defies little other than the audience's patience

Little imagination in the telling of the production

Babylon goes to Vegas but loses its stardust
