Mama Mia

[Cruiser 5452]

Couple of questions about Mama Mia on the Allure of the Seas.   Does anyone have any information as to how long this show will stay on the Allure of the Seas…. Question #2.  The Allure is going back to Port Canaveral early next year.  Will the show still be on the Allure for 3 and 4 night cruises?  I know that is s long way off, but just trying to plan ahead.  Thanks in Advance.

Many, many years.  At least until the next dry dock, but I'm betting it will stay even beyond that.

 

If they show one of the big shows on the short cruise, it will certainly be Mama Mia.

 

(the latter, I don't know)

We were on in December and the show was a little over 3 hours including an intermission.

the oasis has cats since the ship was built in 2009 and it is now 2023, 14 years later

Does anyone know what the show is on the Sympathy?

Not exactly. When Oasis came out the Broadway show was Hairspray. Cats came on board when she went to her first dry dock in 2014.  

Allure originally had Chicago when she started in 2010.

You mean Hairspray and Chicago were options and we're stuck with Mama Mia instead?  That's so disappointing.

So I guess you'll be in line for the Wizard of Oz on the Icon?

1. Forever

 

2. Yes

 

Or, if you prefer.  It's not there now.

 

Mamma Mia is on there now, and will remain forever.

You can see Hairspray on Symphony now. 
 

Chicago lasted 5 years. 
 

I like Mama Mia over Cats or Grease. Great finale.

Choices are simple...book a different ship or skip shows you don't care for.

I do miss Chicago on Allure. I suppose it’s a less “fun” option but was a great show. I have seen Mana Mia a couple of times (Quantum and Allure) but the rest like Cats were once-was-enough shows for me. 
 

I definitely sympathize with trying to find a show with broad appeal and manageable cast.

We saw Mama Mia.  It wasn't three hours.  It was great.  Enjoy.  So much better then CATs.  I will  not see again- but probably will pass this time on the  Oasis in a few months ugh.

Probably not, we live very close to NYC and I’m afraid I am something of a theater snob.  And my tastes run to less mass appeal shows.  Don’t think my favorites would fit the bill.  Spamalot, Aida, Rent, Pippin would be terrific!

Yup I skip the Broadway shows on board.  In fact, except for the comedy shows, I skip most of the headliners shows.  On Harmony last year they had a “men of grease” performance and although they had good voices, their material was awful.  Not one song suited the vocal range of its performer.

Ya, we saw that as well...less than impressive.

Apparently, the licensing for Chicago was too much for them to keep it on.  It was also a shorter version of the original as well.

 

And I suspect that the cost of making a brand new Wizard of Oz is cheaper than licensing an existing show.

I vote for Spamalot!
