Podcasts about Little Prince

In the early 1980s, producer Joseph Tandet put the failure of the 1974 movie musical of The Little Prince behind him and set his sights on Broadway. He secured the rights and assembled an award-winning creative team—including Academy Award-winning composer John Barry and his lyricist Don Black as well as three-time Tony winner Hugh Wheeler. But what unfolded behind the scenes was anything but magical. From rewrites and cast changes to last-minute creative disagreements, The Little Prince and the Aviator was plagued by setbacks from the very beginning. The show never officially opened on Broadway, but it made it all the way to the theater, with sets built, actors rehearsed, and a score ready to be sung—until everything fell apart. In this episode, we explore the chaotic and fascinating path of a musical that almost was, using firsthand accounts from Tandet's revealing memoir and a personal interview with Anthony Rapp, who was just 10 years old when he was cast in the title role. It's a story of ambition, mismanagement, and the delicate balance between creative vision and theatrical reality—and why some shows never make it to opening night. --- Theme Music created by Blake Stadnik.

The Little Prince has been enchanting readers of all ages since 1943, when French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first introduced the boy from a distant planet. Inspired by his own life and a desert crash landing, this poetic tale has become one of the most translated and best-selling books in the world. In this episode, we begin a two-part look at The Little Prince on stage and screen—both versions produced by Joseph Tandet. There's the ambitious 1982 Broadway-bound musical starring Michael York and a young Anthony Rapp, which never made it past previews. And before that, the 1974 movie musical directed by Stanley Donen and featuring Lerner and Loewe's final collaboration—complete with Bob Fosse, Gene Wilder, and a surprisingly rocky production history.

(Gaia House) Impermanence through the image of the Little Prince's rose. Is everything really dukkha just because it's transient? More on samatha & vipassanā. Stages in relinquishing reactivity.

This is a very exciting PARSHA & PROSE. It is because Rabbi Gemara and I discuss the first parsha in VA'YIKRA (also known as Va'yikra) through the lens of a lovely, warm and compelling book, 'THE LITTLE PRINCE'. Here, the Rabbi explains the ideas of sacrifices in a unqiue and refreshing way, expressing the relationshipal aspect of offering animals to God. He compares this to the beautiful discovery that the little prince makes while on a trip to different planets, one of which is ultimately earth. I was emotional preparing for this podcast, and then questioning my co-host on the essence of the parsha and the book itself. Sometimes, I do an interview which truly moves me, more then others. This episode did. Have a look/a listen. It's a very special time together. I think you'll agree!

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince, explains the power of the heart over the mind like this: “If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” And "teaching the longing" is exactly right. For love is a habit. We, of course, may imagine that love strikes like lightning, without explanation or warning. But we are actually habituated toward our loves. We are shaped by habits that present those things that are worth our love. Love, in short, takes practice. Our hearts are calibrated through imitation and immersion into practices that, overtime, curate our hearts to particular ends. We learn to love not primarily by acquiring information about what we should love but rather through practices that form the habits of how we love. Rituals train us to love rightly. In the church we have a different word for ritual: liturgy.

Season 2 of Closing Night is finally here—the theater history podcast that takes you behind the curtain to uncover stories about famous and forgotten Broadway show that closed too soon. While season 1 focused on musicals that came and went from the Marquis Theatre, this season I'm tackling a whole new kind of theatrical heartbreak: shows that never actually opened on Broadway.  These are the productions that fizzled out during out-of-town tryouts or preview performances, including Lone Star Love, The Little Prince and the Aviator, Lolita, My Love, Let My People Come, and Breakfast at Tiffany's, among others. Episodes start at the end of January and will drop once a month throughout the year, with the first episode being all about Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge, which was actually slated to open at the Marquis Theatre but was canceled after a disastrous run in Washington, DC.

Join Father Adam for the conclusion of The Little Prince Advent Retreat. The fourth theme is Sight: "One sees clearly only with the heart." Here are a couple quotes that Fr. Adam references in the podcast that are not found in the book: [F]ew value [friendship] because few experience it. And the possibility of going through life without the experience is rooted in that fact which separates Friendship so sharply from both the other loves [affection and eros]. Friendship is…the least natural of loves; the least instinctive, organic, biological, gregarious and necessary. …Without Eros none of us would have been begotten and without Affection none of us would have been reared; but we can live and breed without Friendship. (CS Lewis, The Four Loves, 58)  4 Behold, you are beautiful, my love, behold, you are beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead. 2 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them is bereaved. 3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil. 4 Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an arsenal, whereon hang a thousand bucklers, all of them shields of warriors. (Song of Songs 4:1-4)[W]hat the Church teaches affects even the things already in the landscape, the things of ordinary experience. It is like a physical landscape at sunrise: it is not that you see the same things that you saw before and now find yourself seeing the sun as well. You see everything sun-bathed. Similarly it is not a case of seeing the same universe as other people and then seeing God over and above. For God is at the center of the being of everything whatsoever. If we would see the Universe aright, we must see it God-bathed. (Frank Sheed, Theology and Sanity, 28)

Lessons from 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Written and illustrated by Saint-Exupéry. 'The Little Prince 'has been translated into 500 languages and continues to gain new fans each year. When a pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert, he meets a little boy who asks him to draw a sheep. Gradually the Little Prince reveals more about himself: He comes from a small asteroid, where he lived alone until a rose grew there. But the rose grew demanding, and he was confused by his feelings about her. The story unfolds further from one planet to the next in a thoughtful philosophical exploration of love and the ephemeral.

Join Fr. Adam Potter for this third session of The Little Prince Advent Retreat as he reflects on the theme of relationship. In a sense, thirst leads us to relationship. “[W]e're going to die of thirst,” said the Pilot. …“So you're thirsty, too? The pilot asked. But he didn't answer my question. He merely said to me, “water can also be good for the heart…” (67) Consider the themes of shared responsibility, time, and suffering that leads to "creating ties" or being "tamed." Both the little prince and the pilot have their own journeys to understanding true love, and it culminates at the well. Here are some helpful quotes used in the podcast, not in the book:“The prince also begins to understand that his own actions within the relationship have bound him to the flower permanently. For one, the time and care he has lavished on the rose have transformed his own feelings toward her: she has gone from being simply a flower like any other to “his” flower. The relationship has also changed the flower herself, in the sense that it has made her more vulnerable. The prince, for instance, often things of the “four ridiculous thorns” (80) the flower has to protect herself, but this physical fragility is largely a metaphor for the flower's new emotional fragility. Now that she loves him, he has the capacity to hurt her. As a result, the prince comes to feel that he has a duty to return to his rose.” (Study Guide, 50)"Each of us can experience that in [Jesus's] eyes we are loved, chosen by God, in an extremely personal way. We often have a feeling that God loves in a general way: he loves all men. But being loved in a ‘global' way cannot satisfy us. And it is absolutely different from the reality of the particular, unique love that God the Father has for each of his children. God's love is personal and individual. God does not love two people in the same way because it is actually his love that creates our personality, a different personality for each. There is a much greater difference between people's souls than between their faces, says St. Teresa of Avila." (Jacques Phillippe, Thirsting for Prayer, 22-23)"Even more mysteriously beautiful, God's infinite love also makes Him infinitely vulnerable. Love makes the lover vulnerable. He is moved by the Beloved. She brings Him out of Himself. He gives all He is to each one without ever becoming less because He is infinite. He pours Himself out in creating us in His Image. He pours out His image and shares His very self with us. He pours Himself out in infinite vulnerability, emptying His divine self to become human (Phil 2:6-8), and becomes one with us in the Incarnation. He pours Himself out totally for us on the Cross as He suffers anything and everything that has ever been suffered for the sake of His Beloved. God becomes radically vulnerable, using all His divine power not to protect Himself but to love more deeply and become more vulnerable to us. And He does this for all, and for each and every one as if each were the only one." (Frs. Acklin & Hicks, OSB, Personal Prayer: A Guide for Receiving the Father's Love, 11)

Dheepthika Laurent and film critic Perrine Quenesson look at the latest film releases in France, starting with a very famous aviator: the enigmatic Antoine de Saint Exupéry, best known for writing "The Little Prince". He's the focus of "Saint-Ex", a biopic by Argentine-French filmmaker Pablo Aguero. Also on the big screen is another biopic on a legendary French stage actress in Guillaume Nicloux's film "The Divine Sarah Bernhardt", and a very French movie – "Holy Cow" by filmmaker Louise Courvoisier – set in the Jura region home to Comté cheese, as well as a documentary on renowned French music composer Michel Legrand in David Hertzog Dessites' "Once Upon a Time Michel Legrand”.

Join Fr. Adam on this second theme from The Little Prince: Structural Disproportion. It's the idea that "our desire is bigger than our ability to fill it. We are structured for something that we don't have and can't supply. It's like being a cup, but there's no liquid to fill it. We are that cup and we are desperately looking for water, or any liquid we can pour into it. Anything." (Lorenzo Albacete, Priesthood and the Human Vocation)“You and I, each and every one of us without exception, can be defined as an aching need for the infinite. Some people realize this; some do not. But even the latter illustrate this inner ache when, not having God deeply, they incessantly spill themselves out into excitements and experiences, licit or illicit. They are trying to fill their inner emptiness, but they never succeed, which is why the search is incessant. Though worldly pleasure seeking never fulfills and satisfies in a continuing way, it may tend momentarily to distract and to dull the profound pain of the inner void. If these people allow themselves a moment of reflective silence (which they seldom do), they notice a still, small voice whispering, is this all there is? They begin to sense a thirst to love with abandon, without limit, without end, without lingering aftertastes of bitterness. In other words, their inner spirit is clamoring, even if confusedly, for unending beauty.” (Fr. Thomas Dubay, Evidential Power of Beauty, pg. 17)“The heart is originally poor with that ‘original solitude' or ‘original poverty' that is man's initial condition from which he yearns to be set free…this original condition of thirst…is the way the heart is oriented to the Mystery that alone can fulfill it.” (Albacete, Traces, September edition 1999, pg. 2)Proverbs 17:1 -- "Better is a dry morsel with quiet; than a house full of feasting with strife."

Does your personal library overwhelm your home? Are there too many books in your life -- but you'll never get rid of them? Then you have a lot in common with Gilded Age mogul J.P. Morgan!Morgan was a defining figure of the late 19th century, engineering corporate mergers and crafting monopolies from the desk of his Wall Street office. His vast control over the steel and railroad industries paired with his connections in international banking granted him great power over American life and helped fuel the great economic disparities of the Gilded AgeIn the process Morgan became one of the wealthiest men in America -- but he did not tread the traditional path through New York high society. He preferred yachts over ballrooms.And books! For decades he collected thousands of rare books, letters, paintings and manuscripts from Gutenberg bibles to medieval illuminated tomes. There were so many books that Morgan decided to start the new century with his own personal project -- the construction of a library.Today the Morgan Library and Museum is open to the public and, as an active and thriving institution, continues to highlight the world's greatest examples of the printed word -- from Charles Dickens's manuscript for A Christmas Carol to past exhibitions on Beatrix Potter, James Joyce and even The Little Prince.Tom and Greg explore the biography of J. Pierpont Morgan then head to the Morgan Library to speak with Jennifer Tonkovich, the Eugene and Clare Thaw Curator of Drawings and Prints.And then they wander through the winding connections of buildings that comprise the Morgan Library & Museum -- from Morgan's study (and its 'hidden' vault of books) to the glorious main stacks, lined with triple tiers of bookcases fashioned of bronze and inlaid Circassian walnut.

Join Fr. Adam Potter in this four part Advent Retreat on the Little Prince, by Antione de Saint-Exupery. In this first reflection, Fr. Potter reflects on the theme of becoming like little children. He highlights the power of imagination, as exemplified by children. It is contrasted by the "serious" adults who have become distracted from their true creative longings.Here are some of the quotes from this first retreat session:We must "not be discouraged by the difficulty or the obstacles that come form sin. In this regard, we must not forget that the dynamism of desire is always open to redemption. ...We all, moreover, need to set out on the path of purification and healing of desire. We are pilgrims, heading for the heavenly homeland." (Benedict XVI, Nov 7, 2012)"What are you looking for?" (The first question posed by Jesus to disciples in gospel John) “…this seems to be an important question because the rest of the Gospel is going to be an interplay between the answer to this question and Christ. Christ identifying himself as that which fulfills those desires. But if we are not familiar with those desires or haven't really thought it through, then we cannot recognize the value of whatever it is Jesus offers to us.” (Alabacete, What is Christian in Christianity?, 101)“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.” (GK Chesterton, Orthodoxy)

Book Vs. Movie: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the HorseThe Charlie Mackesy Children's Book  Vs. the 2022 Apple+ FilmThe Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy is a beautifully illustrated book that explores themes of kindness, resilience, and self-acceptance through the adventures of four unlikely friends.

I liken this new book entitled "Boond" to the classic "Little Prince." That is, while it may have a certain childlike charm, it is not really a children's book. This is a tale of the Divine Quest. Boond is Sanskrit for "drop," as in a drop of water. And that is exactly what the star of our story is: an anthropomorphic drop of water. We rarely feature books of fiction on Common Threads, but we made an exception here due to the intelligence, wit and whimsy contained in this tale. It really could be called a modern day myth. Enjoy.

Tickets are available for in-person attendance and via livestream on The Green Room 42 website. Next month marks the 50th anniversary of The Little Prince, a musical film based on the classic children's story and the final collaboration of Broadway writing duo Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.

And the special guest of the evening is Steven Warner, who was the child actor in the title role alongside Broadway luminaries like Richard Kiley, Bob Fosse, Donna McKechnie, and Gene Wilder. Two other movie musicals also celebrating anniversaries this fall are Brigadoon, which has enchanted audiences for 70 years with its tale of love and a mystical village, as well as My Fair Lady, the timeless classic reaching its 60th anniversary. And each of these three musicals will be brought to life with some of the finest voices on and off Broadway. This one-night-only concert features Grammy Award nominee Mykal Kilgore (Motown, Hair), Tony Award nominee Jane Summerhays (Me and My Girl, A Chorus Line), Tony Award Honoree Ben Davis (Once Upon a Mattress, La Boheme), E. Clayton Cornelious (Ain't Too Proud), and Ellis Gage (White Rose, James & the Giant Peach). Warner will reprise songs he sang in The Little Prince. Performers from recent Broadway revivals of Lerner & Loewe musicals are among the singers as well, including Rachel Fairbanks (Camelot), Michael Halling (My Fair Lady), and Valerie Torres-Rosario (Camelot). The associate conductor for both Camelot and My Fair Lady, Will Curry, will provide music direction and violin along with Megan Smythe (The Great Gatsby) on piano.

On 30 December 1935, at 2:45 am, after 19 hours and 44 minutes in the air, Saint-Exupéry, along with his mechanic-navigator André Prévot, crashed in the Libyan desert, during an attempt to break the speed record in a Paris-to-Saigon air race and win a prize of 150,000 francs.Both Saint-Exupéry and Prévot miraculously survived the crash, only to face rapid dehydration in the intense desert heat. Their maps were primitive and ambiguous, leaving them with no idea of their location.Lost among the sand dunes, their sole supplies consisted of some grapes, two oranges, a madeleine, a pint of coffee in a battered thermos and a half pint of white wine in another. They also had with them a small store of medicine: "a hundred grammes of ninety percent alcohol, the same of pure ether, and a small bottle of iodine."The pair had only one day's worth of fluids. They both saw mirages and experienced auditory hallucinations, which were quickly followed by more vivid hallucinations. By the second and third day, they were so dehydrated that they stopped sweating. On the fourth day, a Bedouin on a camel discovered them and administered a native rehydration treatment that saved their lives. [281 The near brush with death would figure prominently in his 1939 memoir, Wind, Sand and Stars, winner of several awards. Saint-Exupéry's classic novella The Little Prince, which begins with a pilot being stranded in the desert, is, in part, a reference to this experience.

Chapter 1:Summary of Curious"The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is a poetic tale in which a pilot stranded in the desert meets a young prince fallen to Earth from a tiny asteroid. The story is philosophical and includes social criticism, remarking on the strangeness of the adult world.The prince tells the narrator about his journey from planet to planet, each inhabited by a single adult who exhibits absurdities or neuroses, such as a king with no subjects or a businessman obsessively counting stars to "own" them. Through these stories, the prince reveals his own experiences of love and loss, focusing particularly on his relationship with a rose that grew on his asteroid. He loved the rose, but did not know how to love her, so he left her to explore other planets.As the prince journeys, he meets various inhabitants of the planets, each an adult archetype, such as a conceited man, a drunkard, a lamplighter, and a geographer, each symbolic of a certain adult preoccupation or folly. These encounters serve to critique various aspects of human nature.The central themes of the book involve the importance of looking beneath the surface to find the real truth and beauty in people and things, the absurdity of human nature, and the isolation and loneliness that accompany adulthood. The prince's stories emphasize the value of love and honesty, and the importance of nurturing relationships.Throughout his adventures, the prince maintains his innocence and questions the behaviors of adults. Eventually, he returns to his asteroid, and his physical fate is left ambiguous. However, his spiritual journey and maturity are evident, leaving a profound impact on the narrator, who learns that the essential things in life are often invisible and can only be seen with the heart, not with the eyes.In conclusion, "The Little Prince" is a timeless story that appeals to both children and adults, encouraging deeper reflection on life, relationships, and our interactions with others.Chapter 2:The Theme of Curious"The Little Prince," a novella written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is an eloquent tale that combines simplicity and profundity, catering to both children and adults.

Here, he meets the Little Prince, a young boy from a distant asteroid, who shares stories of his cosmic travels and the various planets he has visited.2. Tales of the Asteroids: The Little Prince describes his journey from asteroid to asteroid, each inhabited by a solitary adult exhibiting particular follies and narrow-mindedness: a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter, and a geographer. Each character satirizes an aspect of society.3. The Little Prince's Rose: On his home asteroid, known as B-612, the Little Prince has left behind a single, precious rose. His relationships with the rose—complicated by his love for her and her pretentiousness—motivate his travels and exploration for a means to best care for her.4. The Little Prince on Earth: Arriving on Earth, the Little Prince is disheartened to find hordes of roses, making his single rose seem less unique. However, his interactions with a fox teach him about the depth of relationships, and the fox's secret helps him realize that his love for his rose makes her unique and special.5. The Snake Bite and Ascension: The story concludes tragically (or mystically) with the Little Prince's encounter with a snake whose bite allows him to leave his physical body on Earth and return to...

For example, the character of the Little Prince himself is a representation of innocence, purity, and the untainted perspective of a child.Saint-Exupéry also employs a lyrical and poetic language throughout the novel, which adds depth and beauty to the narrative. His use of imagery and descriptive language helps to create a rich and vivid world for the reader to immerse themselves in. For example, his descriptions of the Little Prince's encounters with various characters on different planets are filled with sensory details and vivid descriptions that evoke a sense of wonder and magic.Furthermore, Saint-Exupéry's writing style plays a crucial role in conveying the emotional...

Episode 2781: Helene Massicotte shares her journey of realizing that more possessions lead to less satisfaction and appreciation. By adopting a "no buy" approach for seven months, she aims to reclaim her time, focus on meaningful activities, and find contentment in less, transforming her consumption habits and rediscovering the joy in simplicity. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.freetopursue.com/blog/2018/1/28/more-is-less Quotes to ponder: "The reality is that, in general, the more we have: the more we want, the less we appreciate each additional belonging, and the less grateful and happy we are with what we have, both new and old." "I started to better understand why hoarders do what they do. That emotional connection with the act of acquiring can be intoxicating and it can be a great distraction from what else we might be feeling about our lives."
