'The Little Prince', published in 1946, is a modern fairy tale by writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It is his most famous book and the most translated book in French literature. Last year, the count stood at over 160 translations, not even including adaptations for film or musicals. In 1999, the book finished in fourth place in the poll of the 100 best books of the 20th century (Le Monde).

This beautiful family musical tells us the story of 'The Little Prince' as it has never been seen before in Dutch theaters.
The Little Prince and The Pilot set out on a journey. This journey takes them to various planets and Earth. A Rose, a Geographer, an Enlightener, a Businessman, a King, and a Fox accompany them to learn the true value of love and friendship. For instance, on Earth, The Little Prince sees a whole row of rose bushes. He is disappointed, because he thought his Rose was the only one in the universe. But The Fox explains to the little prince that his Rose is indeed unique and special, because she is the one he loves.
The performance features magical projections for every scene, enchanting acting, and beautiful music that will move the audience.
'The Little Prince' is a musical that matters. It reminds us that the value of an object or person lies in the memories it evokes. In this way, you see things that are not perceptible to the naked eye, but are with the soul and the heart; it is those things that give life meaning.

The basis for the staging of 'The Little Prince' comes from Barcelona and was created by the company La Perla 29. Manu Guix, also known as a musical singer, composed the music and created beautiful songs in various styles.
The direction was in the hands of Angel Llacer, a well-known television presenter who made his directorial debut over three years ago.
By now, 'The Little Prince' has been performed over 400 times at the Theatre Barts in the heart of Barcelona's cultural center and continues to enjoy great public interest.
