Overview

Mark Twain’s timeless tale about look-alike boys who change places – and the destiny of a nation – is transformed into a swashbuckling musical. Enter medieval London and meet the young, protected Prince who gazes from his window at a world he is not allowed to explore, while a destitute boy dreams of escaping the thievery and filth that surround him. The Prince and the Pauper dazzled audiences of all ages in its multi-year run at the Lambs Theatre in New York City. It overflows with the thrill of adventure, the power of youth, magical sword fights, and enchanting songs.
