The Little Prince and the Aviator is a musical with a book by Hugh Wheeler lyrics by Don Black and music by John Barry.Based on the classic book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry the musical deviates from the original in that aviator Toni whose plane crashes in the Sahara Desert explicitly is real-life author Saint-Exupéry and the plot alternates flashbacks to actual events in his life with his interaction with the fictional Little Prince a refugee from Asteroid B-612.Undaunted by the critical and commercial failure of the 1974 musical screen adaptation by Lerner and Loewe A.
