SUMMER SPECTACLE<br />
IN WESTERN SYDNEY<br />
EMILY FESZCZUK<br />
Audiences are invited on an extraordinary<br />
adventure as ‘The<br />
Little Prince’ returns to western<br />
Sydney direct from France<br />
next year.<br />
The grand-scale performance will be at<br />
West HQ’s Sydney Coliseum Theatre from<br />
January 1, 2022 for a strictly limited three<br />
week season.<br />
Associate Producer, Catherine Haigh told<br />
<strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong> that the innovative stage production<br />
comes from a much loved tale.<br />
“The book was a French novella written<br />
in 1943 that was written as a children’s title<br />
but took people’s hearts on a much broader<br />
scale, selling over 200 million copies<br />
and it is the second most translated book<br />
in the world under the Bible,” Ms Haigh<br />
said.<br />
“It is a tale of a little prince who traverses<br />
different planets looking for purpose,<br />
meaning and true love… the fascinating<br />
thing is that it resonates with someone<br />
who is seven, 17 or 70 as you meet the varied<br />
and vibrant characters he meets upon<br />
his journey.”<br />
A multigenerational experience, Ms<br />
Haigh said the integrated modern elements<br />
provide a feast for the eyes.<br />
“It is a classic tale but there is a level of<br />
innovation with video mapping and projections<br />
so when you sit in the theatre it<br />
becomes an immersive experience which<br />
speaks to both children and adults,” she<br />
said.<br />
“It is vivid and lush and you move relatively<br />
quickly through different characters<br />
and places with everything from contemporary<br />
dance to parkour and acrobatics.”<br />
After the COVID-19 pandemic shut<br />
down theatres and the world for some 18<br />
months, this show will welcome the first<br />
major international touring cast back to<br />
the country.<br />
“The show debuted in Paris and sold out<br />
then came to the Opera House and was<br />
again a sell out but because of COVID we<br />
felt we had unfinished business as there<br />
was still an overwhelming demand,” Ms<br />
Haigh said.<br />
“To be able to bring an entirely international<br />
cast of first class calibre performers<br />
post-COVID is so exciting and we are<br />
thrilled to be able to provide a hero product<br />
to a hero venue.”<br />
