The show, based on the novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry will run at the venue next Spring.
It has been announced that the UK premiere of The Little Prince will run at the London Coliseum from the 12th to the 16th March.

On his journey, 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.”
