voyager70 Posted May 15, 2017 #26 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Does the 2 hour run time include an intermission? Also, what are people's thoughts on Spectra's Cabaret? It looks really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall an intermission Spectra's Cabaret was weird, but definitely worth seeing. The singing, dancing and special effects are remarkable.

johnjen Posted May 15, 2017 #28 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'd choose "We Will Rock You" over "The Gift" any day of the week. WWRY was fantastic. "The Gift" seemed a bit too over the top for me with hidden meanings and symbolism. The only gift I could think of while seeing The Gift was looking at my watch hoping that the REAL gift would arrive when the show was finished. I wasn't the only one, either. Everyone around me kept staring at their watches, wondering when the thing was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachbuzzard Posted May 16, 2017 #30 Share Posted May 16, 2017 We Will Rock You for sure does not have an intermission. We just saw it last week for the 2nd time and enjoyed it as much as the first. The total run time was just under 2 hours. And as someone above mentioned - do not get up and leave after the first set of ovations. Sit tight!!

Raph Posted October 19, 2017 #31 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Go see WWRY or Spectra Cabaret. Give The Gift a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieVisi2r Posted October 19, 2017 #32 Share Posted October 19, 2017 We Will Rock You is sensational. I went twice. But I also loved The Gift. Why would you choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGray Posted October 19, 2017 #33 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Haven't seen either one, but like uplifting shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisby Posted October 19, 2017 #34 Share Posted October 19, 2017 We Will Rock You was beyond amazing, I highly recommend it, and sure would not recommend walking out before the very last song! Didn't see Gift but we are in January. Ive heard it's not that great but I judge for myself! Sent from my K88 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taraemm Posted October 19, 2017 #35 Share Posted October 19, 2017 WWRY. The Gift was not good. We left about 20 minutes in and we weren't the only ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted October 19, 2017 #36 Share Posted October 19, 2017 And I think that The Gift is a lovely show and a delightful way to spend about an hour of your cruise. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josprince Posted October 20, 2017 #37 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Looking forward to WWRY - for the 5th time this Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted October 20, 2017 #38 Share Posted October 20, 2017 If I had to choose only one show, it would definitely be We Will Rock You. I would probably see The Gift, too, if I could fit it in, but it would be a much lower priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baowen Posted October 20, 2017 #39 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Definitely We will Rock You. Excellent show- the Gift was a bit boring to me Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolady68 Posted October 20, 2017 #40 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Both of the shows are well worth the visit. Sent from my SM-T377V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnative Posted October 20, 2017 #41 Share Posted October 20, 2017 We watched WWRY once, thought it was OK but have NOT returned when on the Anthem. We are not Queen fans. The Gift was excellent and we have now seen it several times; the story touches the heart. In short it is a tale of Love Lost and Love Regained. Spectra’s Cabaret was our least favorite although we loved its sister show on the Quantum. It is unusual for us to be lukewarm toward Royal Caribbean shows; we are very fond of “Cats”, “Columbus”, “Mama Mia”, “Chicago” (when it was running). But, as others have said, if you can attend only one show, go to WWRY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasukkie Posted October 20, 2017 #43 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I recently saw all three shows on Anthem. We had reservations but they were never necessary. If not for this board, I think I might have thought reservations were required and not gone if I didn't have one. So don't worry about that if you are plans change, just show up. I expected to not like The Gift based on what I read here. I teared up at the end lol, so I guess I'm one of those sappy people. It's not very long, at the worst I would think one could just enjoy the singing and dancing and leave it at that. I always sit towards the back so if I want to get up and leave I won't feel rude about it. I kept falling asleep during Spectra's Caberet, I blame a heavy dinner and wine. I enjoyed the more atmospheric parts with the aerialists. The technology and the space were more interesting to me than the performances, but everyone was very talented, just not my kind of music. WWRY was top notch. I'm not into Queen but you really don't have to be. The show has a story, and the music is so familiar. I would say this is the one to go to if you only want to see one show.

mugtech Posted October 20, 2017 #44 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Does the 2 hour run time include an intermission? Also, what are people's thoughts on Spectra's Cabaret? It looks really interesting. Spectra starts out as a funky electric kool-aid acid test, but then expands in other directions, quite enjoyable even if you're not tripping.
