W. if there are any Disco bashers(are they still around?) around fell free to join in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all had incredible voices. If you go to the late show on the right night, after the show, the theater is converted into Studio 54 for a disco dance party. Very fun. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W. if there are any Disco bashers(are they still around?) around fell free to join in . It is a story about her life from a young church choir girl to the pop star. Lots of very familiar music (some from the early days which are not as familiar). Donna Summer led a hard life from being abused as a young child to people taking advantage of her as she became famous. We have seen the show twice on the Prima and enjoy the vocals of all three Donna's (young, prime, and mature). We also found it interesting to see the cast hanging out together a lot of nights at the buffet. This is not the Prima but shows some of the scenes from the theater shows 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted March 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2023 We saw it on Prima. Overall good, maybe a bit long, i.e. some parts boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Belly Posted March 20, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Being NCL squashed Noise Boys, leaving Donna Summer as the only game in town, we'll probably give it a go, can always walk out, we'll be seated in the back, rude to sit upfront then walk out mid show.

Rare ontheweb Posted March 20, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I really do not like disco, but DW wants to see it, so I guess we will be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlgator Posted March 21, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We saw the show on the Prima and we both loved it. I would definitely recommend attending the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDreaming2 Posted March 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We saw it on the Prima. Only the late show was available. Supposed to start at 10 pm. Actually started closer to 11. The music was good but the show was about 45 minutes too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKstages Posted March 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 21, 2023 This jukebox bio musical got decidedly mixed to negative reviews on Broadway and ran just nine months. If you focus only on the music, treat it as a concert, and don’t expect to learn much about Donna Summer, it has its moments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppcox Posted March 21, 2023 #14 Share Posted March 21, 2023 We both enjoyed it and we weren’t sure it was for us. All 3 “Donnas” did a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjaypea42 Posted March 21, 2023 #15 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The Donna Summer show was pretty good on Prima, but be warned there are some mentions of adult themes in the show, so you may not want to have littles there. (You may not want to have littles on the Prima, period, actually...Not as much stuff for them to do vs the Breakaway Plus class ships.) Noise Boys was phenomenal, though! I'm so grateful I got to see it before they nixed it. Also, I am not a fan of Disco...most 70s party nights are just meh if not outright cringey to me. But the Disco Experience (or whatever they're calling it) on Prima was a highlight of the trip. They did SUCH a great job with it! Sensoria was pretty good too, but the Disco night was better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
