Jersey Boys Language & Mini-Golf Question

[Oakman58]

We just returned from our Dec 5th cruise on the Bliss.  It was a great cruise with a great crew.  The one thing that surprised me was the number of “F” bombs that were dropped in the show Jersey Boys. I did see a few people leave and I think it was because of the language.  Regardless, it was an excellent production.  We also enjoyed the show SIX which was absolutely outstanding.

 

QUESTION; How do you get to the mini-golf without taking stairs?

[ChiefMateJRK]

That's interesting.  We saw the show on two Pearl cruises years ago and I never heard anything like that.  I'm guessing that it's scripted and intended to make the show more "real," but I really don't know.

 

Was it a show later in the evening?

Oh my gosh, I didn’t know NCL had SIX! We saw it in Chicago pre-pandemic and loved it!

It's been on the Bliss since August 2019.  I think another ship had it a month or so before that.

You expected a show about a group of guys in their early 20's in New Jersey was going to be G-rated?  The Freestyle Daily even indicates "adult themes and coarse language" are used and suggests it's not for children under 12.

I don't believe you can

They bought the rights to the show, they can’t make changes, Rock of Ages had some colorful language.

Wow I don’t remember there being curse words in that show.  I thought the show was excellent and truly enjoyed it.  I guess everyone has a different tolerance level or that they need to use the restroom.

People walking out of NCL shows offended at language, despite being told there would be adult themes and language, is a tale as old as time.

There isn't any way to get to the mini golf without stairs. In fact, I think there is even a small set of stairs between parts of the course! (such as it is)

We don’t go to many shows on cruise ships because the good ones are crowded/sold out and the bad ones, well, they’re bad. If Jersey Boys is now the caliber of shows being offered on ships we’re going to make an effort to attend. We remember the “F” word being used, but we didn’t think it was excessive. We were at the Friday 8PM show on your cruise and didn’t notice anyone leaving early. We were impressed.

Can the Jersey Boys carry you up the stairs though? lol

No, but maybe they'll drop an f-bomb when you miss a shot?

SIX is also on the Breakaway, where we saw it during our October cruise. We loved it so much we went back the next night to see it again (one of the advantages of a ship at 38% capacity).  Out of curiosity, while we were on board, I checked the ticket prices on Broadway — $499 plus fees for premium orchestra seats!  Since we had the equivalent in the Breakaway’s lovely theatre, that was about $2000 worth of tickets. So I figure the cruise was nearly free. 🤣

I hope those folks never see “Hamilton” in a theatre.

Jersey Boys, both the movie and the Broadway touring production, filled with the F word. Part of the production.  On the Bliss now.  Six canceled last minute for this cruise.

Too bad you'll miss it, I found it quite good.

[oteixeira]

I grew up in Jersey, there should be an F-bomb in every line of the show for it to be authentic.

Lived here my entire life, you speak the truth.

That's a shame.  I thought Six was a much better production that the Jersey Boys on the Bliss.

There are warning signs about the musical about mobbed-up people from New Jersey.....I can't imagine why anyone would not think there would be adult language.....

I'm sure they'll just LOVE "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" on Epic, too...you know, that famous historical drama about Cleopatra's little sister? Fine family entertainment!!

I just realized that "To Wong Foo, Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar" was the American ripoff (?) of that Australian film. I saw them both at different times and would confuse one for the other.
