A star-studded cruise ship featuring some of Broadway's biggest names is setting sail from Florida to Mexico and the Bahamas next spring. The Broadway Cruise, which will depart roundtrip from Miami to Cozumel and Great Stirrup Cay from April 15-20, 2027, will include Tony Award-winners Patti LuPone, Darren Criss, Norbert Leo Butz, and Adrienne Warren, as well as Tony nominees Norm Lewis, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Laura Bell Bundy, Micaela Diamond, and Kerry Butler.
Interactive Experiences at Sea
In addition to performances, the cruise will offer multiple interactive theatrical events, Q&As, workshops, discussions on how to create a show, and dance classes. There will also be full performances of “Mama I’m a Big Girl Now!,” with Winokur, Bundy, and Butler, who met starring as Tracy, Penny, and Amber in “Hairspray” and reunite to sing Broadway hits and share behind-the-scenes stories.
Notable Guests and Creators
Tony-winning composer Marc Shaiman — fresh off publishing his memoir “Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories from a Sore Winner” — will be onboard, as well as three-time Tony-winning director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, behind such shows as “Kinky Boots” and “La Cage aux Folles.”
“This isn’t just a fan experience, it’s Broadway without walls, an all-access experience at sea where fans and legends collide. For five extraordinary nights, the ship becomes the stage, the backstage, and everything in between. Nothing else comes close,” said Jeff Cuellar, CEO at Sixthman, in a statement.
This will be the fourth Broadway Cruise, which borrows the Norwegian Gem for its themed trips.
