A live-action version of “The Prince of Egypt” is coming to a small screen near you.
A filmed performance of “The Prince of Egypt,” the West End stage musical from composer Stephen Schwartz and director Scott Schwartz based on the 1998 DreamWorks Animation film of the same name, became available to rent Tuesday for the first time in the U.S.
In the video above, TheWrap can exclusively premiere a first-look at the hit production’s rousing opening number, “Deliver Us.” Stephen Schwartz told TheWrap that the song was the “first one he wrote for the original DreamWorks animated feature.”
“It set the tone for the rest of the movie in promising something unusual for animation: an epic tale dealing with big cultural and social themes and deep human relationships and emotions,” Schwartz said.
