Because of one of our gymnasts being out of commission this
week, we had to juggle the performance schedule around. In addition, since the understudy
contingency plan hadn’t been provided (until now, due to the gymnast being out),
we had to cancel this week’s performances of BOLLYWOOD. So, tonight, we presented a “Vocal
Variety Show” featuring the 4 production cast singers, Margie Hobbs (the band
master), Ruby Monserate (one of the cruise staff), and the show band. With one rehearsal in the afternoon to
put it together, it ended up being a FANTASTIC evening of music. We only did a 7pm show, and I wish I
had taken pictures . . . Juanito, the lighting technician on board did a phenomenal
job lighting each singer, to enhance the mood, and Tim, the sound technician on
board mixed the music beautifully.
It was “on the fly,” but boy, as an evening of entertainment, it truly
flew! BRAVO to all!
