Broadway sensations Priscilla Queen of the Desert - The Musical
and Burn the Floor to headline, plus all-new British pop music entertainment experience, The Cavern Club |
MIAMI – Norwegian Cruise Line today has announced a new entertainment line-up for
Norwegian
Epic, the award-winning ship that will be based year-round in
Barcelona, Spain, starting April 30, 2015.
Two new Broadway shows will
take the stage as headliners:
Burn the Floor in April, 2015 and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - The Musical
in October, 2015.
The ship will also feature an all-new British pop
music entertainment experience, The Cavern Club, bringing the legendary
Liverpool venue where the
Beatles performed to life at sea.
“We are
excited to bring Norwegian Epic to Europe year-round and want to provide
our guests with even more exciting entertainment options on the ship
that first elevated the onboard
entertainment experience,” said Drew Madsen, Norwegian Cruise Line
president and chief operating officer. “These new world-class
entertainment offerings, along with Norwegian Epic’s innovative
accommodations and plethora of dining options, are the perfect
combination for the European cruise market and give guests the freedom
and flexibility to customize their vacation.”
Broadway sensation
Burn The Floor, which has received rave reviews on Norwegian
Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway, will bring the sizzle and passion of
ballroom dancing to Norwegian Epic with an all new and exciting show
specifically designed for European guests beginning
on her transatlantic voyage, April 19, 2015. “Ballroom Blitz,”
featuring 14 dancers, a live band and two singers, is an ultimate
high-voltage theatrical dance experience that explodes with jaw-dropping
choreography, heart-pounding music and breath-taking
moves.
Based on the Oscar-winning movie,
Priscilla Queen Of The Desert - The Musical is the heart-warming,
uplifting comedy adventure of three friends who hop aboard a battered
old bus searching for love and friendship and end up finding more than
they could have ever dreamed of discovering.
The Tony Award winning musical features a dazzling array of over 500
award-winning costumes, 200 extraordinary head-dresses and a hit parade
of dance floor favorites, including “It’s Raining Men,” “I Will
Survive,” and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” The show
will open on the ship’s October 18, 2015 voyage.
Norwegian
Epic will also receive a whole new entertainment venue created through
an exciting partnership with the owners of Liverpool’s The Cavern Club,
the birthplace of British
pop music. Impressively, 57 years after its opening, the original
Cavern Club survives and thrives as a contemporary music venue.
Norwegian will re-create The Cavern Club experience at sea, rocking
guests each evening to the sounds of The Beatles, along with
other international musicians. The Cavern Club will debut on the
October 11, 2015 sailing.
Named
“Best Overall Cruise Ship” by the readers of
Travel Weekly two years in a row, the 4,100 passenger, Norwegian
Epic will be the largest Norwegian Cruise Line ship to ever home port in
Europe year-round. Throughout 2015, Norwegian Epic will offer a
variety of exciting European itineraries offering
guests the opportunity to experience why Norwegian was named “Europe’s Leading Cruise Line” seven years in a row by the World Travel Awards.
