WORLD’S LARGEST CRUISE SHIP
MIAMI, April 4, 2014 – Royal Caribbean
International’s Oasis of the Seas, the world’s largest and most innovative
cruise ship will be bringing the Tony Award-winning Broadway production
of CATS to the high seas.
Based on T.S. Eliot's “Old Possum's Book of
Practical Cats,” CATS was one of the longest running productions on Broadway
and is the winner of numerous awards including seven Tonys, two Oliviers
and a Grammy. The show has been seen in over 20 countries and translated
into more than 10 languages. The fully licensed production of CATS will
join Oasis of the Seas once it completes its drydock in fall 2014.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with
the Really Useful Group to bring one of the world’s most beloved musicals
to Oasis of the Seas,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Executive Vice President,
Operations, Royal Caribbean International. “Adding CATS to our already
amazing line up of Broadway musicals such as Hairspray, Chicago: The Musical,
Saturday Night Fever and Mamma Mia exemplify our commitment to bringing
top quality entertainment to our guests at no extra cost.”
Oasis of the Seas features exclusive
amenities and concepts throughout its seven themed neighborhoods, such
as an 82 foot-long zip line, a handcrafted carousel, the Rising Tide elevating
bar, the Aquatheater high-diving performance venue, and Central Park with
more than 12,000 live trees and plants. Oasis of the Seas also offers amenities
that can only be found on Royal Caribbean, such as twin FlowRider surf
simulators, cantilevered whirlpools, an ice-skating rink, the H20 Zone
kids aquapark, and the Royal Promenade, an interior boulevard that stretches
