But even with the 2 1/2 to 1 1/2 hour production time reduction, there still seems to be mixed reviews about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been going to Florida for the past 18 years the same week and it’s either bike week or we catch one end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the three performances I saw in January 2020, very few people left during the show. FWIW, half the folks that left at intermission probably came back. That's kinda the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would it not have made sense to update the show when the Oasis came out of Amplification, or does one of the muckity mucks have a soft spot for Cats? Maybe it's just an awesome show. More likely a long term contact, and it's expensive to switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I must have different sources😉 I was told Royal jumped on keeping it when ALW agreed to shorten it. There was no requirement. They just got a good deal to extend and the rewrite sealed it.

jk04 Posted March 13, 2021 #47 Share Posted March 13, 2021 @John&LaLa I do like the Broadway version of Cats. When I flew up to bring Mom down here with us, they were showing the movie version on the plane. I knew the reviews were really bad but I did like some of the actors. OMG, it was criminal....

poocher Posted March 13, 2021 #48 Share Posted March 13, 2021 We are on Harmony next March and are stuck with Grease, one of the worst musicals ever written. And I say that from an experience viewpoint cuz I was in it. The movie only made the whole thing worse. The only thing that could possibly be worse would be that elevator music(al) Mamma Mia. Abba was awful in the original!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abba was awful in the original!! I played in the pit orchestras and like all those older musicals. Each to their own. Grease reminds me of my own HS. Some musicals wore a little thin, some never made the big time, but I enjoyed them all. But then I played musical instruments since 4th grade so maybe i see them differently.

Abba was awful in the original!! That may be from an avid theatre goer however from the average cruise that is just looking for some decent entertainment on board they are extremely popular. Add to add to that, they cover a very wide demographic audience so they are a winner as far as shipboard entertainment goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
