Sam said: “Come with us on a magical journey with the Little Prince as he tells of his love for a rose, of his friendship with a fox and learns that what is most important in life can only be seen with the heart.”

A musical adaptation of the children’s book written by the French pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in the 1940s, The Little Prince is the latest collaboration by Sam Chittenden and Simon Scardanelli, the writers of the award-winning musical Clean!

“As well as being a charming story for children, The Little Prince also poignantly broaches themes of love and loss.

“This show is a perfect antidote to challenging times, and a wonderful reintroduction to live theatre.”

Book and lyrics by Sam Chittenden (Unquiet Slumbers, Sary, Underworlds, So You Say, Metamorphosis). Music by Simon Scardanelli (prolific singer-songwriter/composer and member of 80s band Big Bam Boo).
