The Little Prince to Premiere at London Coliseum in 2025
The beloved tale of The Little Prince is coming to London! Marking the 80th anniversary of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's cherished novella, this UK premiere will be staged at the London Coliseum from 12 to 16 March 2025.
Following acclaimed performances in Paris, Sydney, Dubai, and Broadway, this production continues its worldwide journey. Directed and choreographed by Anne Tournié, the show combines dance, aerial acrobatics, and video mapping technology to bring the timeless story to life.
Tournié shared her excitement:
"The Little Prince shares a message of humanity with the many different people and cultures he encounters. We are humbled to bring his story of friendship, loneliness, love, and caring for others and our planet back to the melting pot where Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first created this beloved tale."

Olivier d’Agay, great-nephew of Saint-Exupéry, describes the production as:
"An homage to the wonder of childhood, echoing the innocence and wisdom Saint-Exupéry so beautifully captured. It invites us to rediscover dreams long forgotten and gaze at the stars with renewed wonder."
