NCL SELECTS CELEBRITY IMPERSONATORS, DUELING PIANOS FOR EPIC
Norwegian Cruise Lines on Nov. 6 announced that two popular land-based shows will perform on the new Norwegian Epic -- Legends in Concert and Howl at the Moon. Due out in June, the 153,000-ton, 4,200-passenger Epic also will also feature Blue Man Group, Cirque Dreams and Dinner and The Second City. NCL Executive Vice President Andy Stuart said the line is working on a plan that will allow passengers to pre-order show tickets. A staple on the Las Vegas Strip for 25 years, Legends in Concert is a live tribute show featuring impersonators of Elvis Presley, Madonna, Tina Turner, Cher and other iconic celebrities. Legends in Concert will feature three celebrity performers taking the stage in the 680-seat Epic Theater for six 45-minute shows over three days during a seven-day cruise. In addition, a cabaret-style show will be performed on three additional nights in the 280-seat Manhattan Room, the New York-inspired supper club. The celebrity performers will change every four months.
Chicago-based Howl at the Moon, which features pianists on two baby grand pianos, is performed in 13 land-based locations throughout the U.S. Music from 1970s rock to hip-hop is performed in an interactive show. Howl at the Moon will perform four four-hour sets per cruise in the 280-seat Headliners, the comedy club.
Norwegian Epic will operate alternating Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from Miami. The first Eastern Caribbean cruise will depart July 17 and visit St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Nassau. The Western Caribbean itinerary calls at Costa Maya, Mexico; Roatán, Bay Islands, Honduras; and Cozumel, Mexico. For more information, call 866-377-2228 or e-mail Info@SevenSeasEvents.com
