Noticed in the Musicalcon Guide for this year there's an ad for the cinema release on sunday, but it also mentions that it's available on Digital December 4th.

May have to order the blu ray of this via amazon.co.uk since it's listed as "Region Free" and is currently not available on Amazon in the US.

Thanks for this. I didn't get to see this live, and was away when it was shown in the cinema, so thought I'd have to wait for the DVD. Much quicker and cheaper to stream. Overall I found it dragged a bit, and the first half in particular could have been shorter. Maybe that was because I was watching on a small screen rather than "in the flesh" though. I liked the effects of using the cast to represent the environment, e.g. the river and the bush, and I loved how they went through the Red Sea. I'm glad I've seen it, but don't think I'd be bothered about seeing it again in the theatre, unless there was a particular cast member I wanted to see. |

I just watched the dvd and although I loved the original movie, I was a bit underwhelmed by this.
The tone at the start is a bit all over the place, too jokey. But once Moses learns who he is it does improve.
The cast is a mixed bag. Luke Brady is very good, as is Alexia Khadime. But Liam Tamne just lacks the gravitas, and his acting is one note throughout.
Sets and costumes are hit and miss. There's too much interpretative dance for my taste. But some of the use of the ensemble is effective, especially the red sea.
The new songs don't match the strength and power of the originals (the chariot one is especially cringe). But the original songs sound great.
I still think this could be a great musical, but this production isn't it.
