I'm not sure about the roll out, I believe I read that it's generally being offered on the longer cruises first.  We recently did a 35 day cruise and there were 3 production shows (much like used to be onboard).  2 male singers, 1 female singer, 3 male and 3 female dancers.  Not everyone was in all the productions, and one show was primarily the female singer and all dancers, but one of the male singers did one song.

 

They also brought onboard "local" talent for a few shows.

Thank you . Well we will find out in March  on Koningsdam on the 7 day Mexico cruise .  We hope that HAL keeps their word  or we have to reevaluate where we spend our monies

March is a long ways away.  You most likely will change your mind.  So, nothing to worry about.

Sorry we put this question up as there is no  one who will answer the question

 The only issue that would have us not take this March cruise wold be  serious health issues . We are looking toward this cruise & seeing the humback   whales & their calves in the waters of Cabo San Lucas ,Mexico

It has been a while since Holland america had announced that  broadway style shows  & other acts would be performed on the world stage . We hope that this is true .

I just got off the Eurodam on the 14th. I was asked to participate in an in-person interview about entertainment which I did. I was told that the consensus was wanting a return of the production shows and the Lincoln Center Stage type shows. The Eurodam had wonderful evening entertainment. We had 3 (yes three!) production shows with the first 2 being 2 male singers and one female and the last being the 2 male singers. There were 6 dancers as well and the shows were high energy, familiar tunes, and a lot of fun. We also had comedienne Alycia Cooper who was fine and the pianist Hyperion Knight who was outstanding!
