NEW YORK — A cruise ship carrying some of Broadway’s biggest names — including Tony Award winner Laura Benanti and Emmy winner Wayne Brady — will sail from Florida to Mexico next spring.
The Broadway Cruise, which heads back and forth from Miami to Cozumel from March 31 to April 4, 2025, also features Tony nominees Shoshana Bean, Eva Noblezada and Alex Brightman, as well as Broadway favorites Corey Cott, Caissie Levy and Solea Pfeiffer.
Tony-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, behind shows like “Kinky Boots” and “La Cage au Folles,” will discuss the making of a show and teach dance lessons, while Tony-winning producer Jeffrey Seller – behind hits like “Hamilton,” “Rent” and “Avenue Q” — discuss producing hits on Broadway. Will Van Dyke will be the cruise’s musical director.
Producers promise “intimate and large-scale shows and cabarets from Broadway’s coolest talent. You’ll get tips and techniques from some of the best and brightest creative talent working today.” There will also be celebrity meet-and-greets and Broadway karaoke.
This will be the third Broadway Cruise that the Norwegian pearl has borrowed for its themed voyages. Customers can attend performances in everything from the 850-seat Stardust Theater to the Pool Deck Stage, which seats 2,000, or the Atrium Stage, which seats 300.
“With two incredibly successful voyages under our belts, the Broadway Cruise is now an annual tradition,” said Scott Zeiger, executive producer of EBG Solutions, in a statement. “If you love Broadway, there is no vacation more satisfying and exciting than on our full ship takeover with today’s greatest talent.”
