#1TravelMom Posted May 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Does anyone know if this show is still on the Seaside? Sailing in June - curious to know if it will still be an option by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmbhardy Posted May 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2019 We were on the Seaside three weeks ago and it’s still on. It was the best of all the shows we saw, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1TravelMom Posted May 7, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Great to hear. We have 4 weeks to go. We were on the Seaside in November, but it was not playing for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toledo_cruiser Posted May 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Just got off the 4/27/19 Seaside cruise. As stated, the Michael Jackson show was still on and it truly was the highlight of the featured shows. I have no way of knowing how long it will run, but if it's on, do go see it.

Rare alyssamma Posted May 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I am wondering if I saw a different show than everyone else...although I was on the 4/27 sailing toledo cruiser was on. There were 2 people playing MJ - one only did Dirty Diana, which was great and the "acrobatics" during that song were amazing. However the other guy was very stiff. He seems like a pop locking MJ, or more like his sister Janet. He focused more on MJ poses instead of the smoothness of the dancing. The way the songs were mixed also made no sense (to me). But I'm obviously in the minority here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm obviously in the minority here 🙂 I went to the 945 show. I agree the song mix was odd. As for the dancing, you may be right. I only expected Michael Jackson-ish, so I wasn't disappointed. 😅 I was more impressed that the production dancers were on point and had the moves and timing to match the main dancer. Of course I may have been caught up in the crowd enthusiasm as the audience was definitely "into" the show. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH15 Posted May 10, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Any other “don’t miss” shows? Any duds? At DFW Airport right now - boarding tomorrow. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever, don't miss the Friday show, and you may want to consider the crew talent show (on Thursday). Really some talented people in the wings.

As far as shows, it all really depends what you like. We went to all the regular night shows and thought they were good but didn't really care for My Life in Music but you may like it and find the other ones not so good. Just think, in 24 hours, you'll be getting pampered. ETA: The shows aren't super long so it is not like you've invested a lot of time if one isn't to your liking. They are around 35-40 minutes.

dexddd Posted May 10, 2019 #15 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I scanned quickly through the programs from March and not seeing the crew show either. I have seen some talented crew on other ships over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAGR Posted May 10, 2019 #17 Share Posted May 10, 2019 In our last sailing, it was after the last show on Thursday, since there was no Adult Beer Prov that night, I think. Didn't save the programs from our sailing (the week of March 2nd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theEvilQueen2 Posted May 11, 2019 #19 Share Posted May 11, 2019 We just got off today (5/11) and saw the MJ show last night. Like all shows on Seaside, they have no orchestra and the music is pre-recorded, which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't really poor quality, like it's running an rpm too slow I think in most of the shows the singers were actually singing along, but with MJ it's mostly (or all) lip synching with old recordings of MJ. The show is short so only a few songs are covered. The dancing was good enough, I'd say like a really good high school production. I might have enjoyed it more, but it's been so over hyped that it ended up being a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we all thought of the singing to recording on Divinia but at least on Seaside they seemed to do a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theEvilQueen2 Posted May 14, 2019 #21 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The singers, especially the Diva and Tenor, were fantastic, too bad they had to try to sing along to the poor quality recordings. It's really an insult to their talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
