Okay...so why not just make Prince of Egypt a stage musical?
This production was obviously not very good. I think there was potential, but BEFORE Prince of Egypt was released.
Prince of Egypt has far better music, far better writing, is far less cheesy, far more exciting, and would not have been that hard to translate to the stage. Not to mention that they both star Val Kilmer. The Ten Commandments: The Musical seems almost like a production you'd see at a church pageant...good effort, but just doesn't work. Guitar riffs and techno music in ancient Egypt? Please no.
Plus Prince of Egypt's amazing score was written by Stephen Schwartz, a composer highly respected on Broadway for his excellent musicals like Pippin and Wicked. Another interesting tidbit is that Zipporah's father Jethro is voiced by Brian Stokes Mitchell, a famous Broadway leading man. Just have him play Jethro on stage!
Think about it...how awesome would it be to see and hear "Deliver Us" on stage? Or "Playing with the Big Boys"? Or "Through Heaven's Eyes"? And "When You Believe" would make a spectacular ending on stage. Just listen to the soundtrack- it's just as good (perhaps better) than many Broadway cast albums.
If they can put animated movies like Beauty & the Beast, Lion King, Tarzan, and The Little Mermaid on Broadway, they can put Prince of Egypt up there too.
That's my opinion anyway.
