The Little Prince bound for a flying start with d31st December 2011
Excitement is in the air about the new musical adaptation of world-famous book 'The Little Prince', written in 1943 by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and now on stage at the newly refurbished Lyric Theatre in Belfast.
The first musical from the new Lloyd Webber generation, Andrew's son Nicholas, and composer James D. Reid, d3 is playing a significant role. Working closely with set & costume designer Gary McCann on the projection-based set, the d3 team have been advising on the types of content and types of projection whilst previsualising and sequencing the show in their London office. Making sure the creative team got the most out of their technology, the set up was completed in Belfast where the show will be on for the first time on 1 December 2011.
More images and information to follow soon on our projects page, more information on the show can be found on the Lyric Theatre website.
