Rare xpcdoojk Posted July 13, 2022 #205 Share Posted July 13, 2022 So, two hours have passed. I don’t even remember what is infinitely better than Hairspray, but I feel comfortable to saying Cats is infinitely better than Hairspray. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerway Posted July 13, 2022 #206 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Spectra WAS horrible. We Will Rock You was pretty good, if you can wrap you head around someone riding a BMX bike around the stage before they were invented. Sounds like I need to avoid Cats in August/September. Thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"And when push comes to shove I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da ya da! Da da da dat da dat da da da da ya da Da da dat dat da…" We still laugh over the king and some of what he sang.

Why there are so many threads about not liking it is beyond me. I don't like bingo. You know what? I don't go. I don't like art auctions. You know what? I don't go. I'm not interested in dance classes. You know what? I don't go. Probably because production shows are a big draw for many. Bingo, not so much 😀 A better example if the MDR really was horrible. Or the buffet was really horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people in a board room somewhere actually said, "This is great! Let's make this a featured show on one of our premier cruise ships. We'll make millions!" Do the actors and actresses actually enjoy performing in this debacle? I will never watch this show again. Choice: Walk barefoot over hot coals, then broken glass, then rusty nails, then cute kittens or.... rewatch Cats? Easy decision. Definitely a love it or hate it show. Our family falls in the hate it. Wish they’d replace with Hamilton or bring back Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au contraire mon ami, those cruise ship art auctions are great places to hidden hidden gems by some of the Greats. 🖼️ And the prices are way better that those rip off auction houses in New York, London or Paris. I mean you can't spend a grand in those places and get an original by Masters of the art world like Wally Picasso, Candy Monet, Jimmy Pollock or the Master of all Masters, Denis the Menace Rembrandt. I ❤️ cruise ship art auctions! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amazing quality at unbelievable prices, oh and the free drinks.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Seriously I was told a lot of the pics are bought by interior designers for use in offices. Buying on the ship gives them a tax deductible break, like attending an onboard work conference that it's a very big earner for the cruise lines.

Reminds me of a ski trip to Aspen back in the 80s, where wife’s friends who were with us were RNs met some others that were attending some sort of conference, were allowed to join said conference, and everyone had a tax deductible event. Hadn’t thought of it for buying “artwork” for work.😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
