zerooveride Posted August 16, 2021 #32 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The one post, posted yesterday says "One week till these angels are ship bound and struttin’ the high seas." - 1 week would be the 08/21 Cruise; whether they are performing or just on the ship is another story. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,,, being on the ship and having the show installed and ready to preform are two different things. And if they are not somehow isolated/quarantined right now, they may have to quarantine onboard for 14 days to satisfy CDC requirements. That's before they would be allowed to continue with the show's installation and rehearsals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the show was addressed onboard. To "properly" present the show, they casted the 25 performers and dozen musicians from multiple international locations. That, along with having to custom create dozens of boots for primary and understudies, it has been a long process to get the show installed. Recall, the Joy was suppose to be the first restart ship last week out of Jamaica. That was changed to the Bliss out of Seattle and finally the Encore out of Seattle. Kinky Boots is only on the Encore and they had to quickly assemble a cast once the decision was made to use the Encore for the first cruises.

hillslife Posted August 17, 2021 #35 Share Posted August 17, 2021 We are on the August 28 sailing and would love to see kinky boots. But we’re not able to make reservations for our entertainment either… So how do we do that once on board? We’re newbies with NCL?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OrcaGirl Posted August 17, 2021 #36 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Does anyone recall which nights of a 7-day Encore sailing that Kinky Boots would usually be performed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevekscruiser Posted September 17, 2021 #37 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I am on Encore January 2021. Here is my opinion on deleted shows. Most performers are not cruise line employees. I saw an interview on TV with actor playing Lola in Kinky Boots during the heart of the pandemic. The actor indicated that the show was ready to go but stopped rehearsal due to pandemic. Since performers are not employed by NCL and NCL is a vaccine required line, could performers that are not willing to be vaccinated be being recast and show is not ready? Just a thought. Could be Prohibition cast as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes for all contractors/NCL shore excursion staff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaMamma Posted November 20, 2021 Author #40 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Any updated info on whether Kinky Boots is back on Encore, and, if so, which nights? I’m booking dinners for my January cruise, and like to plan around the shows. I hear that Choir of Man has been on Day 2 and Day 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes down week to week due to covid. Same with Choir of Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both still show as being on Encore. Hope to see KB one day. BTW, 40% capacity was awesome! No elevator waits, able to social distance everywhere... so difference and wonderful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outta My Work Clothes Posted March 11, 2022 #44 Share Posted March 11, 2022 KB was not on Encore last week (26 Feb- 6 Mar)... but it was on the week before. No explanation except for the form letter similar to above. Saw Choir of Men 2x... excellent and very entertaining. Bring A Mug to join in on all the toast's. (Full of Course!)

panda23 Posted March 14, 2022 #45 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Just got off NCL Encore yesterday, March 13. 2022 and we saw the wonderful Kinky Boots show. Only 1 showing on the last night and no reservations. Standing ovation!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeninIndy Posted July 4, 2022 #47 Share Posted July 4, 2022 We sail next week and I noticed it was removed from the menu of shows we could book once onboard over a month ago. It looks like it might be gone and I’m guessing they’ll sub it with a rotation of singers/comedians/magicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 4, 2022 #48 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Someone posted in another thread that it was playing last week. We are on board in a few weeks and I’m hoping KB and Choir of Man will both be on, but if not we will still have a wonderful cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
