The Prince of Egypt by Baraboo Theatre Guild - Show Details

What To Know About This Production

“The Prince of Egypt” began life in 1998 as an Oscar-winning, animated musical. The film’s popularity led to a stage production with music and lyrics by multi Grammy and Academy Award winning Stephen Schwartz. The musical premiered in London in 2020, but was quickly shut down by the pandemic.

“The Prince of Egypt’s” storyline is the ancient tale of Moses and Ramses. The epic score and story are set in epic surroundings: brick making camps at the base of the pyramids; the mighty Nile River; a palace complete with hieroglyphs; a burning bush; the Red Sea, which parts and then floods in again…yes, on the Al. Ringling stage! All of this “epic” has inspired us to expand the scope of this show by including a dedicated dance troupe and an off-stage chorus in addition to the full cast. This show is going to be HUGE in every way and it’s one you’ll want to be part of. We are excited to see you (and invite some friends to join you!) at auditions.

Cast List For The Prince of Egypt

Available Roles

Moses - Playful, but with a soulful core. Ages throughout the show.

A high tenor (sings up to Bb) with a thrilling voice and large range. Gender: male, Vocal range top: A4 Vocal range bottom: Bb2
Ramses - A prince of Egypt, heir to the throne, who ages throughout the show. He loves his brother Moses, but is also quite competitive with him, since Moses’s winning personality continually puts him in the shade. His father expects a great deal from him as the future Pharaoh, and Ramses is wracked by self-doubt. Through trials of great pain over the course of the show, he ultimately becomes a great leader of the Egyptians. A strong tenor (sings up to G#), but with a well-developed lower range.
