Les Dix Commandements is a French-language musical comedy written by Élie Chouraqui and Pascal Obispo that premiered in Paris in October 2000.
In 2022, the musical premiered in the English language with an American adaptation written and directed by David Serero (starring as Moses) in New York. The U.S. Cast Album Recording's first single, "The Maximum Pain," is released. For this production, David Serero was awarded for "Theatrical Excellence" by The Musical Theater Radio and was nominated for Best Director and Performer at the 2022 BroadwayWorld Awards.
The musical in two acts became the basis of similar musicals elsewhere, including Patrick Leonard's film The Ten Commandments: The Musical.
