MIAMI, Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rydell High is heading to Royal Caribbean
International! The first cruise line to feature fully licensed,
Tony Award-winning Broadway productions today announced that
Broadway's hit musical Grease will take the stage onboard
Harmony of the Seas, the most anticipated addition to the
fleet yet, sailing across Europe
as of May 2016, and Independence
of the Seas, Europe's beloved
ship that returns to her homeport in Southampton, England for the summer. The
all-new, never-before-seen stage production, specially adapted by
Royal Caribbean Productions, will boast a soundtrack of crowd
favorites such as "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightnin'," "Look at
Me, I'm Sandra Dee," "Born to
Hand-Jive," "Beauty School Dropout" and more.
"Grease is a show that speaks to families of all ages and
is sure to get guests out of their seats, singing and dancing,
which is why we made the unprecedented decision to have it debut on
Harmony and premiere it onboard Independence
immediately, starting in July," said Nick
Weir, Vice President, Entertainment, Royal Caribbean
International. "As the first cruise line to bring Broadway
performances onboard its ships, it's only fitting that we would
also be the first to bring Grease to the hospitality
industry."
In Grease, Sandy
Dumbrowski, the new girl in town, and Danny Zuko, the school's coolest greaser, have a
secret summertime romance – but when they return to school,
everything is different. Sandy attempts to navigate tricky
Rydell High School social waters and
catch Danny's attention again, but Danny is chiefly concerned with
maintaining his tough-guy reputation. In the end, the Pink Ladies
help Sandy figure out how to win back the leader of the
T-Birds.
As part of Royal Caribbean's award-winning Broadway offerings,
guests of the cruise line can take in performances featuring the
greatest hits of legendary rock group Queen with We Will Rock You on Anthem of the Seas;
the storytelling of ABBA's timeless songs in MAMMA MIA! on
Allure of the Seas; one of the world's most beloved musicals
CATS on Oasis of the Seas; the toe-tapping disco
beats of Saturday Night Fever on Liberty of the Seas,
and now, Grease on Harmony of the Seas and
Independence of the Seas.
Harmony of the Seas combines the best of Royal
Caribbean's trendsetting innovations, entertainment and service –
all designed to surprise guests again and again. From sliding down
to the tallest slide at sea, to exploring exciting new
destinations, to dining on the most imaginative cuisine at sea –
Harmony will put guests at the helm of an unexpected
adventure like no other. Harmony of the Seas is not a cruise
ship – it's a blow-your-mind, can't-believe-this-is-all-in-one-ship
floating adventure, waiting for guests to come seek.
Harmony of the Seas will span 16 guest decks, encompass
227,000 gross registered tons, carry 5,497 guests at double
occupancy, and feature 2,747 staterooms. The Oasis class is an
