Meet the Cast of The Prince of Egypt at Cove Community Theater

The Cove Community Theater is currently staging a production of “The Prince of Egypt,” and members of the cast recently visited Studio 814 in costume to discuss the musical.

The visit, captured on video and posted to YouTube by Studio 814 on July 20, 2026, offered a preview of the local theater’s interpretation of the biblical story. Details of the production, including specific performance dates and ticketing information, were not immediately available in the Studio 814 post. However, the video showcased cast members in full costume, discussing their roles and the challenges and rewards of bringing the musical to life.

“The Prince of Egypt” originally premiered on stage in London’s West End in February 2020. The musical, based on the 1998 DreamWorks animated film, features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Philip LaZebnik. The story follows Moses, the prince of Egypt, as he discovers his true identity and leads his people to freedom.

The West End production received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its spectacle and emotional depth. The Guardian’s Michael Billington called the production “a visually stunning and emotionally resonant retelling of the Exodus story” in a February 2020 review. Time Out London similarly praised the show’s “breathtaking sets and powerful performances.”

The musical’s journey to the stage followed a period of development beginning in the early 2010s. Schwartz, known for his work on “Wicked” and “Godspell,” collaborated with LaZebnik to adapt the film for the stage, aiming to capture the film’s themes of faith, freedom, and identity.

While the Studio 814 video doesn’t detail specific aspects of the Cove Community Theater production, it signals a continuing interest in staging “The Prince of Egypt” beyond its initial West End and subsequent touring runs. The Cove Community Theater production adds to the growing number of regional and community theater companies mounting the show, extending its reach to audiences outside major metropolitan areas. No further details about the local production were available at the time of publication.
