Tylor Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Wondering what broadway shows will be announced for Quantum or Anthem or new Oasis ships? I don't know, but expect Broadway shows for all of those ships and probably every new ship from now on. Rumors I have heard for Quantum is Wicked. I don't know the exact procedure for selecting an at sea Broadway show. Currently, the shows being performed have closed on Broadway or are on a revival schedule. Not shows that are fresh on Broadway, but shows that have a good following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Rumor I've heard for Quantum is Jersey Boys, mostly because it would make sense because the ship is based in New Jersey. Frankly I don't think any of the rumors are based on anything but speculation. Jmccaffrey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Wicked, I'm booking a sailing tomorrow on Quantum. I'd love to see RENT, but it's too riskay. West Side Story could be deemed "inappropriate" too.

West Side Story could be deemed "inappropriate" too. I think Wicked would be awesome because #1 it is a great show and #2 Kristen is the Godmother. Hello, what a perfect combo. Royal could get her to guest star in the show for the first few weeks. It would be perfect. Even if it isn't Wicked, I still think Royal should really try and snag that show for one of their ships! brycemo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she is a bit too old to play Galinda (with a “Ga”). No disrespect.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Acutal "Broadway" shows are the following: Oasis - Cats Allure - Mama Mia Harmony/Indy - Grease Symphony - Hairspray Liberty - Saturday Night Fever Anthem - We Will Rock You The rest are Royal Caribbean Original Productions. Not official Broadway shows. I am also unsure if Ovation has anything? ScooterScott22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Like Pixels is very similar to Spectra's Cabaret, The Dream is very similar to The Gift. Instead of building a new show from scratch they adapted the shows for Ovation from Anthem. Empress has Three Sequins and a Feather as it's main show or simply "Three" as they call it on board. Bailamos is the secondary show. "Three" is another Showgirl based show similar to Navigator but Empress was better IMO. Spectrum has a Showgirl show. This seems to be a recurring pattern whereas ships of old have something from the "Royal Caribbean singers and dancers". The question is what will Odyssey get? Hopefully they'll continue with the space theme from Symphony. No doubt they'll have a Showgirls type show as well. Ovation's "Live, Love, Legs" may have been the start of the Showgirl type shows. Navigator's "Showgirl! Past. Present. Future" set is similar and no doubt an evolution of "Live, Love, Legs". Empress being smaller probably doesn't have the stage real estate to accomodate this setup so they adapted it further for a small stage.

TexMexCruiser Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Independence still has Grease... I can't believe they still have Cats on Oasis - when I was on it in 2015 most walked out during intermission as they do the full broadway version. It's a great musical but not for a cruise ship.

We arrived to the theater with almost no seating available. People were leaving in mass exodus during the entire first part! By intermission, we moved seats all the way from the mid mezzanine to the first row! TexMexCruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMexCruiser Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I remember the cruise director prior to the show making an announcement basically saying please wait until the end - as an incentive they had a photo op during intermission to o on stage and take pics. apparently RC wanted to shorten the show like they’ve done with the others but ANdrew Lloyd Webber said no. Was so bummed that I didn’t get to see Hairspray - finally got I see it on Symphony and it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empress being smaller probably doesn't have the stage real estate to accomodate this setup so they adapted it further for a small stage. The Showgirl type shows started with Quantum when she moved to China as they had to replace Mamma Mia with a new shorter, music-based RC Production which turned into Sequins and Feathers. Then Ovation with Live, Love, Legs which was also called Sequins and Feathers II when in China. RC then translated the S&F show to Empress with elements from the original S&F, LLL, and Showgirl which was created for Spectrum and Navigator Post-AMP. For the Two70 show, Ovation started off with the full Spectra’s Cabaret but later adapted it to Pixels by the time she reached Australia for the first time. Starwater (on QN) and Spectra’s Cabaret (on AN) weren’t produced by RC Productions, but by Moment Factory so RC Productions just adapted Spectra to Pixels for OV and waited until Spectrum to create their own in-house Two70 show.

I just read this too. I like CATS (we actually have season tickets to our local theater and we are watching it next week), but I’m not disappointed about the shorter run time. I feel like they are missing an opportunity to bring something new to the new and improved ship though...
