“Footprints on the Sand,” a new song by Stephen Schwartz from the upcoming The Prince of Egypt musical, is sung by star Luke Brady in the music video above. The musical, based on the 1998 Dreamworks animated film, begins performances February 5, 2020, at the Dominion Theatre in London.
“‘Footprints on the Sand’ is a new song that Moses sings before he has learned his true identity. Despite the fact that he thinks he's a rich and carefree Prince of Egypt, there is something at his core that longs for more,” said Schwartz.
The West End cast includes Brady as Moses, Liam Tamne as Ramses, Christine Allado as Tzipporah, Alexia Khadime as Miriam, Joe Dixon as Seti, Debbie Kurup as Queen Tuya, Gary Wilmot as Jethro, Adam Pearce as Hotep, Tanisha Spring as Nefertari, Silas Wyatt-Barke as Aaron, and Mercedesz Csampai as Yocheved.
