‘The Little Prince: An Interactive Play!’ Coming this June and July
Looking for something meaningful to do this coming Father’s Day? Make Believe Productions and Johnny B Good PH proudly present ‘The Little Prince: An Interactive Play!’ A show for the entire family, this comes with interactive segments for both children and adults, a beautiful musical soundtrack, and hearty snacks included in the ticket price. Witness an intimate musical staging of this beloved tale, now landing at a cool and grooving asteroid in the heart of Makati.
THE SHOW
A Pilot finds himself stranded in the middle of the Sahara Desert and soon encounters a mysterious Little Prince, who shares touching stories of his adventures in outer space. In doing so, this Little Prince reminds the Pilot of the boy he once was, all the dreams he had buried, and the utter importance of letting these dreams live.
The Little Prince and the roses
This adaptation by Make Believe includes original, heartwarming songs created by singer-songwriter Pipo Lina. Initially staged in Fully Booked Bonifacio High Street last September 2017, the story is told in a refreshing, interactive format wherein audience members are asked to join the action. The show is a wonderful reminder of what is essential, of the ties that bind, and what it truly means to be a child at heart.
Make Believe will perform a mobile version of the show with a simple set, costume accessories, and props. Similar to a concert version of Les Miserables, for example, ensemble actors will move between microphone stands while lead actors (Little Prince, Pilot, Rose, and Fox) will have lapel microphones.
Audiences will be treated to the full story experience in a stripped down, intimate set- up where the primary focus is the beautiful story, the audience interaction, and the original songs.
