CT D&N Posted February 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I'm on the February 4, 2023 sailing of the Rotterdam and I was pleasantly surprised to see a new music show last night on the main stage. The show is a music group called the Runaround Kids. They play 50's hits with lots of energy and some good humor mixed in. Excellent show (at least I thought so!) - they played two shows in front of a full house with many people standing. If you get the opportunity I'd recommend checking them out. I hope this is just the start by HAL of supplementing their regular entertainment (which I enjoy) with some rotating/varied entertainment which I'd very much appreciate as a frequent HAL cruiser. Good first step HAL - keep it up! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good first step HAL - keep it up! I can also attest to the above. We saw them on a Princess cruise in January 2020 & they were excellent. Lots of energy & can hold a tune. I'd defiantly see them again given the chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted February 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2023 We saw them at the beginning of January and totally enjoyed their performances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REOVA Posted February 6, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Saw them last Summer for 2 shows. Enjoyed them better than Cantare (who can be hit or miss depending on the singer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted February 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Are these guys replacing Jukebox Rascals (??) who appeared on mainstage previously doing 50/60's songs and Frankie Valli ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on the Koningsdam to Hawaii. Jukebox Rogues. Same or different group of the troupe? We also have had Hyperion Knight, a fantastic pianist.

Rare Colorado Klutch Posted February 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2023 This is good news. I'm booked on Koningsdam in early May and my mom and dad will be joining Mrs. Klutch and me. Mom, Dad and Mrs. Klutch really enjoy 1950s music. And I don't mind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROCRUISE Posted February 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Great!! Boarding the Rotterdam this month on the 25th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquer Posted February 6, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 6, 2023 We saw the Runaround Kids on a European cruise in 2019, so they are hardly new to HAL. They were excellent and I wish HAL had more groups like this on the Main Stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Colorado Klutch Posted February 6, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 6, 2023 So are The Runaround Kids just one small musical group aboard one ship? Or are there multiple groups aboard multiple ships? Sorry, I initially assumed there were multiple groups aboard multiple ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are just one of them: http://therunaroundkids.co.uk/ When we saw them in 2019, we had a back-stage tour and talked to the ship's entertainment director. He said at that time, they had an exclusive contract with HAL (or maybe it included all of CCL's brands) and it cost quite a bit of money to get them to sign on and just do cruises exclusively.
