As quickly as I heard that “Summer time: The Donna Summer time Musical” was to be among the many Norwegian Prima reveals, I acquired excited. Over time, I’ve seen many top-notch reveals on Norwegian ships, as the corporate has introduced quite a few Broadway reveals to sea, together with “Rock of Ages” and “Kinky Boots.” The reveals are pared down a bit, taking them from two acts to a ship-friendly 90 minutes, however stay among the many most well-produced reveals you’ll see on a ship.
I booked my tickets early – sure, you do want to order a spot. The reservation doesn’t maintain a particular seat, however ensures a spot within the theater. In case you have a sure seating choice, however positive to reach on the theater as quickly because it opens. (Friends staying in The Haven have a particular space of the theater reserved only for them, and are escorted into the theater by the concierge.)
If you weren’t lucky sufficient to get a reservation, get into the standby line no less than 10 minutes previous to the present. Whether or not as a result of the theater will not be completely full or as a result of those that haven’t proven up at that time lose their reservation, there’s an honest likelihood you’ll be capable to get in. It’s additionally value remembering that there are entrances on each the decrease and higher stage of the theater. The higher stage tends to have extra available seats, in my expertise.
For this present and others, I discovered that availability modified steadily, so don’t surrender in case your most well-liked present time isn’t initially obtainable.
This present interweaves three completely different time frames of Donna Summer time’s musical profession and life right into a cohesive present. Three completely different performers play the position of Donna at completely different phases of her life and profession: Duckling Donna, Disco Donna, and Diva Donna. Kimberley Locke, the season two finalist on “American Idol,” performs the position of Diva Donna. Portraying Disco Donna, Valerie Curlingford hails from The Netherlands. As Duckling Donna, D’Nasya Jordan sings the story of Donna’s youth.
The theater transforms right into a disco set-up and visitors are free to bounce to the favored Donna Summer time songs being carried out. The 85-minute present permits time for over 20 of her greatest songs to be memorialized. The present tastefully shares the story of Donna’s life, however I did begin getting a bit antsy towards the top not realizing that the manufacturing could be longer than others I’ve seen.
The efficiency is filled with power, which did maintain me staying till the top. “Summer time: The Donna Summer time Musical” didn’t disappoint.
