An entertaining look at a college-era musical operetta that blends romance, comedy, and stagecraft.
The Prodigal Prince is a light, musical comedy about royalty, mistaken identities, and a love story that travels from a music studio to a grand ball. Set in two neighboring states, Borcia and Saxonia, it follows a tyrant king, his daughter, and a charming prince who disguise themselves and fall for each other. The score, dance numbers, and chorus work come together to create a lively stage experience rooted in student production values.
