LOL...maybe in 20 yrs.  They are still running Cats, Hair Spray and Grease.  

 

As far as musicals go, Hairspray isn't that old. It first premiered in 2002 and RCI started performances of it in 2009. In terms of the "gap" between when a show premieres and when Royal first runs it, here's the spread:

Cats (33 years - first premiered in 1981, first premiered on Oasis in 2014)

 

Chicago (35 years - first premiered in 1975, first premiered on Allure in 2010)

 

Grease (45 years - first premiered in 1971, first premiered on Harmony and Independence in 2016)


Hairspray (7 years - first premiered in 2002, first premiered on Oasis in 2009)


Mamma Mia! (15 years - first premiered in 1999, first premiered on Quantum in 2014)


Saturday Night Fever (13 years - first premiered in 1998, first premiered on Liberty in 2011)


We Will Rock You (13 years - first premiered in 2002, first premiered on Anthem in 2015

Totally agree.  Spamalot would be hilarious!!  😄 

 

I'm a huge Monty Python fan and would love it but I recognize that Monty Python is not for everybody.  You either "get" Monty Python or you don't.  Sadly, I think it would be loved by some but hated by too many.

Like what?    

 

Well, it depends on which ship you are sailing on and I don't have a cruise compass in front of me but off the top of my head:

 

The regular Royal production shows.

Piano player at the Schooner bar.

Guitar player in the English pub

Live bands at Bolero's, Viking Crown Lounge,  wherever.

Dance party

Ice Skating show

Aqua show

Quest

Karaoke

Theme parties (70's, white party, silent disco...)

Casino

Pool-side movies.

Plus, a whole lot more that I can't think of right now.

 

Not saying I do all those....watching movies is probably the last thing I'll do unless I'm too exhausted from the prior nights fun......but there are plenty of fun activities.

I guess I'm more in the camp of family-friendly shows that appeal to the most people. The only show I saw was Saturday Night Fever on the Liberty, and they were constantly warning us about the "adult themes" in the show.

 

I'd suggest something that's more of a revue style, like Smokey Joe's Café or Fosse.

To each their own. I find only two of the items on your list appealing. I'd much rather see any of the musicals onboard, for instance, than take part in theme parties or be subjected to the pianists at Schooner or the guitarists in the pubs.

What fun would that be if there was only one entertainment venue for everyone?  Really small 50 or so passenger ships...sure...limited.  But you have a large cruise ship with a much larger passenger count...it is a good thing to have so many things to choose from. 😉

I would love to see HAIR ,Spamalot and Let My People Go.

My brother directed hair in Queens in 1980 and one of the people who wrote the play showed up and enjoyed it. I have also seen  It on broadway and a couple of times in Dallas.
