Cruise ships like Norwegian Aqua offer diverse entertainment experiences, exemplified by the show Revolution. Two distinct performances allow for a nightclub atmosphere, transforming the theater. Entertainment has evolved alongside cruise ship development, moving from Broadway-style productions to flashy shows that offer familiar music and straightforward storylines. Bryan White, NCL's entertainment production vice president, highlights guests' desire for musical familiarity and visual appeal. The performance team manages extensive demands despite a limited number of actors, showcasing 98 costumes with numerous quick changes throughout the show.
The enormous size of the show reflects the way onboard entertainment has scaled in tandem with the growth of cruise ships themselves.
Our guests want three things: music they know, visual spectacle, and narratives that are easy to follow.
Even a big ship like Norwegian Aqua still has just over 40 performers on board, who are expected to perform for three to four hours a day.
In Revolution, there are 98 distinct costumes composed of 384 total pieces—and 48 quick changes.
