What Broadway play would you want to see on rccl?

[George C]

We enjoy going to plays in NYC and in Dallas,  one of our favorites would be Beautiful which is about Carol King, another good one would be Come from away.

Phantom

 

A classic, but it’s one I am willing to watch more than once

Bring back Chicago.  😉 

 

How about Hamilton?  Would love to see that.  

[BND]

We go to NYC every 12-18 months to go to shows so we've seen a lot, but honestly, on a cruise I'd rather have different entertainment than something I need to sit through for 2+ hours.  RCI will never appeal to everyone onboard with any one show (think CATS), so that's hard to name one.

[awestover89]

Book of Mormon, or anything from Sondheim. Into the Woods or Sweeney Todd would be great.

 

Of course, I don't think any of those really fit with the atmosphere at Royal. Into the Woods would have the best odds.

[3monkeys4me]

Hamilton or Jersey Boys would be good. Or Wicked.

Hamilton

[garnetpalmetto]

I generally dislike jukebox musicals, but I wouldn't be surprised to see On Your Feet! grace a Royal Caribbean stage at some point considering Estefan's the godmother of two Royal ships at this point.

Chicago is one of my favorite all time plays (and movies too!!)

[MightyMike]

I wouldn't be surprised if Royal Caribbean is already in negotiations to bring Hamilton to an upcoming Oasis-class drydock. It's new. It's the logical choice if they want to generate headlines.

Hamilton.  Les Miserables ( my absolute favorite and I have seen it 6 times and each time its better ). Waitress.  Anything but Cats...

I have to agree with you. With so many things going on during a cruise, I'd much rather attend a 45-55 minute show than a 2+ hour show. I feel like that just kills to much time during the evening.

 

On the flip side, seeing a show that would normally cost $200+  for free is appealing. I would choose to see Kinky Boots (granted, it's not a classic but one of the more enjoyable shows in a long time) or Wicked.

 

Or bring back Chicago.

Anything BUT Cats

[Tree_skier]

Phantom or Wicked. I’ve seen bth but would like vex them over and over.  

[Tree_skier]

Frozen would fit the family nature of most cruises.

Waitress sounds fun. I have the exact opposite opinion you on LeMis vs CATS.

 

Absolutely anything but LeMis.

I've seen CATS 30+ times and I keep finding something new and fun

I have seen Cats several times.  I have never seen a good performance of it.  I skipped it on my last Oasis cruise.  Maybe I will like it better on Oasis in April.   

Le Mis - I did not care for the movie version ( Russell crowe was not right for the part of Javier - but Hugh jackman and Anne Hathoway were great).   I loved the version I saw on Broadway, in the small setting at Flat rock playhouse ( My fave - with local actors), at the Thomas Wolfe auditorium and at the peace center in Greenville SC.

 

I still like you..  See we can all get along!

The new part is probably why it won't make an appearance on Royal, at least not for a few more years. Too much money to be made on Broadway and by touring companies by keeping demand high.

 

Most of the Broadway shows on Royal are older shows that have run their course. Shows like Cats that people will only see for free. 😉😁  (sorry John, couldn't resist)
