Traveler Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 On Matt's latest post I can see that Wonder will not get its own Broadway show ("https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/02/21/wonder-of-the-seas-arrives-us-her-first-sailings). I do hope it will change in the future as the Broadway show was something extra to wait for sailing the big ships (at least for the first sail). I do hope it's just due to the market this ship was suppose to serve (and might serve in the future) and not a start of trend. Hopefully the own production show will be at leas the same level as Flight production in the Symphony OTS. Well at least one thing is good - no need to worry that they will bring Cats over there .

Matt Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 My gut tells me this is all about cost. They just don't have the budget for a Broadway show. Yes, I doubt there was a Broadway show in the mix when Wonder was going to China, but I think the effects of the last two years is they've had to cut costs where possible. The ship construction was financed years ago, so that was already covered. kadmgs, WAAAYTOOO and sammy79 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyDillo Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 I'd love to see them do more original musicals similar to Columbus. I enjoyed that far better than Grease on Harmony.

smokeybandit Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 With the new car scent demand to book on Wonder, no real need to rush a broadway show on board. WAAAYTOOO, CrimsonCruiser and sammy79 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Royal give some aspiring musical playwrights a chance on their ships. WannaCruise and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
