IF YOU LOVE THE FILM YOU WILL NOT LIKE THE MUSICAL. SO DISAPPOINTED

Was so wanting to love this, as my family are huge fans of the film and bought tickets for everyone for Christmas. We were all so let down. Some parts were amazing but they focused on such random parts and downplayed huge elements of the story. They were trying to make it a ‘male wicked’ about these two brothers when the whole thing is really about Mosess huge religious conversation to fulfil his quest from god. Moses had an ok voice, Ramses was suuuuuch a let down, really weak male performances. The girls were amazing. Crazy how they changed the whole ending too, just one of those classic cases of having an amazing story with amazing songs and then changing it to put their own stamp, unfortunately for the worse. Do not bother seeing this if you like this film, you will just be disappointed.

LOVE THE FILM HATED THE STAGE SHOW

I adore the film and have been waiting for a stage version for AGES I was genuinely thrilled when I heard they were doing one, immediately got tickets. The opening was amazing but I was sad to find they took out some of the best songs (playing w the big boys, the plagues etc) and replaced with random songs about subplots that had nothing to do w the actual story (chariots and ramases’ wife?) it just felt a little cheesy and cheap which is annoying cause all the actors and dancers were INSANELY talented and I can not fault them it just seems they got given an awful script/production. The end was also a bit odd as a key part of the film is the anger between the brothers but that just got resolved..? I understand what they tried to do with the set design but it felt a little empty and bare. Now this might just be me but I wished it was a little darker like the film nothing dramatic just less “kidified” ? It was definitely interesting but I wouldn’t put it in the same calibre as the film
