Yikes! I will be on Anthem in a month and so far Spectra, The Gift and We will Rock You have been mentioned as not enjoyable! Maybe the juggler will be good...haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, after several cruises on Oasis, I'm ready to see them change to something else. BTW - Watched Hamilton (the TV version). I didn't last 10 minutes. To each his own! i agree the first 10 minutes or so of Hamilton, we were like what the heck is this, but stuck it out because I loved the talent and the guy who played the King was the absolute best part of the whole show. He was hysterical. funny that I didn’t even follow the storyline…. Just watched them sing. Everyone has different tastes and that’s what makes it interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua80 is much better than Allure's dive show, and might be the best dive show in the fleet. Frozen in Time is better than the Monopoly themed show on Allure. Mama Mia is very good, enjoy it while you can I agree that the Aqua and ice shows are better on Oasis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesthebeach2 Posted July 8, 2022 #154 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I realize this post was in jest, but since I’m here commenting I’ll throw my two cents that I think the best show I’ve seen so far on any Royal ship is The Book on Odyssey. Everything about it was fantastic. But I also love Mamma Mia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poocher Posted July 8, 2022 #162 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Ok I clearly have very different ideas as to what good musical theater is. Mamma Mia is bad elevator music. I mean BAD old, outdated elevator music!!! You didn’t follow the storyline in Hamilton? Like the revolutionary war? the creation of the constitution? Our modern treasury system? Yes King George is hysterical but that was your takeaway? Not the intricate lyrics? The ingenious staging of Rewind? Daveed Diggs spitfire rapping as Lafayette? Chris Jackson’s inspired portrayal of Washington? OMG I feel like I must be watching a different show!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Mamma Mia for memories it rekindled, not necessarily the plot. In the beginning of Hamilton both of us couldn’t understand what they were singing. We turned up the volume and ended up putting on subtitles. I do understand the history but I was more blown away by the talent….they are all extremely talented. But the king just cracked me up. After the first 10 minutes Hamilton we were hooked. I’ve seen it a few times now. edited to add that I would LOVE to see that on a ship!!

We were watching it and all of a sudden he says, really loudly, "what the *&^ is this??" Extra entertainment for us lol.

We've seen all 3 at least three times each. I enjoyed The Book more this last time because they've re-tooled it a little bit to make the story more understandable. The juggler was also a comedian and he was really funny. Edited July 8, 2022 by MommaBear55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
