Back in June, the West End production of The Prince of Egypt announced plans to re-open at the Dominion Theatre on 1 November, provided it was safe to do so and in line with government advice.

The show was given an extended run to make up for cancelled performances after it was forced to close after press night in March. It is now due to run until September 2021 but sadly it has since confirmed that it will not be re-opening next month as planned. Due to the rising number of cases, and a continued lack of news from the government regarding any plans to allow theatres to reopen without social distancing, it is currently not possible to get performances started again. All performances through to 10 February 2021 have now been cancelled.

The producers said: “In order for us to serve our audiences as best we can, please do not get in touch with your point of sale if you have booked for performances after 10 February 2021, but please be reassured that if we do have to officially cancel future performances you will be directly contacted by your ticket provider. We will continue to provide updates as additional information becomes available. Tickets are currently on sale for performances from Thursday 11 February 2021 and performances will officially resume pending UK Government advice”.
