Zachary Noah Piser and Ali Louis Bourzgui will play the brothers Moses and Ramses when Stephen Schwartz’s The Prince of Egypt comes to New York for a single concert at David Geffen Hall on Monday, February 15, 2027.
Shereen Ahmed joins them as Nefertari, and Brian Stokes Mitchell returns to Jethro, the role he voiced in the 1998 DreamWorks animated film the musical is based on. Will Mann plays the high priest Hotep, and Chavez, chosen through the production’s open casting call, plays Queen Tuya.
Piser played the title role in Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway, and Bourzgui led the 2024 Broadway revival of The Who’s Tommy. Ahmed toured the country as Eliza Doolittle in Lincoln Center Theater’s My Fair Lady, and Mitchell won a Tony Award for Kiss Me, Kate.
The dance ensemble is Omri Drumlevich, Jesse Kovarsky and Marla Phelan, alongside Will Ervin Jr., Waverly Fredericks and Maya Kazzaz, who also came through the open call. A choir of more than 400 singers from across the country and the New York City Chamber Orchestra complete the company. More casting, including further performers from the open call, is still to come.
Sammi Cannold directs, with music direction by Brad Haak and choreography by Ida Saki. Stephen Schwartz wrote the music and lyrics and Philip LaZebnik the book; the score includes Deliver Us, All I Ever Wanted and When You Believe. Casting is by The Telsey Office.
The evening is part of Manhattan Concert Productions’ Broadway Series, and Lincoln Center bills it as the musical’s New York stage debut. It plays the Wu Tsai Theater at 8 p.m., with tickets on sale through Lincoln Center from $139.
