pcl_cruiser Posted April 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) I am curious as to what you think the musical will be onboard. The Allure has Chicage, the Oasis has Hairspray and the new Breakaway will have Rock of Ages. I am thinking Wicked...but I am not sure. What do you think?

Wicked has been talked about (not confirmed though) and Pushing Daisy's is also talked about. Both could star Kristen Chenoweth (also not confirmed).

We have been on 3 and i am not the expert but am an obsessive planner! We are looking at our next cruise June 2014 as a celebration of our daughter graduating from nursing school. We want this to be special but not completely break the bank. We will have 2 other families travelling with us too. Our fingers are crossed for Wicked!! We've also considered NCL's new Getaway. I would be open to any advice you may have on selecting Quantum vs Getaway and then room options on Quantum or really....anything you have to share! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have their perks! I will be going on Breakaway next summer and can't wait to get on either Quantum or Anthem. The things to consider are the ports of call, time of year, price, etc. As far as cabins, I like to go in what is unique to that ship for example, I can't wait to try the interior rooms on Quantum/Anthem because of the virtual balconies. ANything you want to ask, just let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebrity Posted April 19, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2013 My money is on Wicked. It's a great show with universal appeal. I have seen it twice on Broadway, once with Kristen Chenowith and she was fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted April 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Maybe they won't even have a Broadway show on Quantum and Anthem. I hope they do, but maybe they will decide to offer some other kind of show. I really liked Saturday Night Fever on Liberty, but maybe such shows are too expensive and take too many cast members and musicians.

Booking It Posted April 20, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Here's to hoping that it's Wicked. And I bet that Royal could charge some uber premium prices if Kristen Chenowith does a few shows, especially during the first set of holiday sailings.

laddcalcagno Posted April 20, 2013 #13 Share Posted April 20, 2013 If I were betting, I'd say Wicked. If I were wishing I'd say anything else besides that. I've seen many a Broadway show and have never had any desire to see that show. My dislike of anything Wizard of Oz related out ranks love of theater.

Rare whitshel Posted April 21, 2013 #14 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Wicked makes sense for Quantum, I'm hoping for Mamma Mia for Anthem then. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctcruiser1721 Posted April 21, 2013 #15 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Wicked would be great. I don't think you will see Kristin Chenoweth on the ship though. She is way beyond that in her career although I am not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celebrity Posted April 21, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Wicked makes sense for Quantum, I'm hoping for Mamma Mia for Anthem then. :D Another great show. Jersey Boys would be very appropriate sailing from Bayonne. Maybe they could have a Godfather for the Anthem..Frankie Valli. :) Edited April 21, 2013 by celebrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmcphee26 Posted April 22, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I would love to see Wicked as I have not yet been able to see it on land but love the music and the book. But I wonder if the rights wouldn't be hard to get. Both hairspray and Chicago had previously been made into movies which makes me think its easier to get the rights to reproduce these (I know nothing about this stuff, just thinking out loud). Jersey Boys would be great as well (my mom would just die) but I'd imagine to be difficult for the same reasons. Both shows still pull in top dollar for tickets on broadway. Wish I could be more helpful in speculating haha. My vote is definitely for Wicked if they can get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGG Posted April 22, 2013 #19 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I would also love to see Wicked. Saw it on Broadway and it is a great show. However I doubt we will see Kristin Chenoweth in any show on a ship. I read last week that she has a very bad case of Meniere Disease caused by something falling and hitting her on the head. But what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubofhockey Posted April 23, 2013 #21 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I hope it's better than Chicago. I have to say that it was a bit of a disappointment and fell short of Broadway or Off Broadway standards. Maybe something lighter is the way to go. Wicked might be too involved. Jersey Boys would work, but an all male cast might not work so well when they will have lead female singers aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe2ship Posted April 23, 2013 #22 Share Posted April 23, 2013 My guess is Wicked but I would LOVE it if they chose the Jersey Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey Boys would work, but an all male cast might not work so well when they will have lead female singers aboard. Chicago was virtually identical to the version I saw on Broadway, including the staging and quality of performance. Jersey Boys would work well but the language between songs is apparently very course, and would put off some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schplinky Posted April 23, 2013 #25 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think Mamma Mia has a pretty good shot at being the show. It's light and fun and is long in the tooth in terms of Broadway. It's not packing them in the way it used to, or the way Jersey Boys and Wicked still are. I dearly hope they don't go retro and choose Phantom. It's a horrible show, in my opinion (and clearly not in the opinion of the ba-gillion people who love it, I know.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
