homedepot124 Posted February 27, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2022 We boarded Symphony yesterday and were told there will be no Hairspray this cruise. 'Technical difficulties' whatever that means. Pretty disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ce2178 Posted February 27, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Did they say when it would be back? I'm on next week and would love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel for you, but imagine booking a boardwalk balcony to watch aqua theater shows and find out onboard no Aquatheather shows, no theatre shows, 1 comedian for 8 nights (haphazard schedule), ports missed, etc. My point is that it could (has been) worse!

MadamGorgeous Posted February 28, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I thought this meant I can’t wear any hair spray LOL I was in a panic thinking about my curly hair becoming an unruly birds nest. Mama needs her anti-humidity hair spray! 😂 Edited February 28, 2022 by MadamGorgeous 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ownedbypets Posted February 28, 2022 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2022 We were on last week and I was also disappointed with no Hairspray. I was told it hasn't been shown for over a month and no restart date has been set, that it was doubtful for the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsai3s Posted February 28, 2022 #12 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The orchestra played wonderful Dixieland Jazz this morning at the Boardwalk...Classical guitarist at Central Park at 7pm...and at Dazzles, the band "Centerpiece" brought the house down with an energetic tribute to Motown.

GEORGIEGIRL Posted February 28, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 28, 2022 On our B2B "Allure" cruise in January "Technical difficulties" was code for "cast has covid-19".. Not sure if that is the case here, but is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ship version took way too long , IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted February 28, 2022 #15 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thanks for sharing the info. To be blunt, somebody reading these threads feels cancelled shows will ruin their cruise experience, they probably should not cruise during the pandemic. There is, of course, always a risk that shows will be canceled on a ship, but the risk is currently higher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be covid but I doubt it since it has been at least 6 weeks since a.performance and when we asked last week about covid we were told that no crew tested positive.

I'm wondering if maybe Hairspray is going to the Wonder, because it has been WAY too long with no show (2+ months as far as I know, since I was on the Xmas sailing and we didn't have it either). Switching ships, and rehearsing on the new ship would make sense, more than they've had bad luck for 9 weeks straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swoopy2110 Posted February 28, 2022 #22 Share Posted February 28, 2022 They told us on the 29th January Symphony sailing that the cast were in changeover and Hairspray wouldn't be on the following week either. Has there been a single showing of Hairspray since the Symphony was taken out of service for 2 weeks in January ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor before, I was on the Dec 22nd cruise, and I think the week after also had no Hairspray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but all the scenarios feel unlikely to me: Rolling cast issues (with no fix) Rolling crew issues (with no fix) no more Broadway show on Symphony etc etc etc. I try and find the "best" option- and then wait for it to be wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
