The Student Prince sings its way serenly down the years as the show that epitomises pure romance. The Prince, Karl Franz, is sent to University at Heidelberg to finish his studies. There, among fruit blossom and fellow students, he meets and falls deliriously in love with the daughter of the innkeeper, Kathie.

This is one of the shows that lasts, and will go on lasting, as long as there are voices to sing songs like "Gaudeamus"; "Deep In My Heart" or the well-loved "Drinking Song".

CAST: Male 9 - Female 4 plus chorus
