Norwegian Cruise Line announced Broadway’s “Beetlejuice” The Musical as the headline production aboard Norwegian Viva when she debuts in August 2023.
Norwegian Cruise Line incoming president David J. Herrera said, “NCL has a history of pioneering the cruise experience and delivering the high-caliber entertainment programming our guests expect. We are dedicated to pushing the envelope, delivering on those expectations, and putting our guests first as we elevate our onboard offerings for the ultimate vacation at sea. This summer, I cannot wait to bring the fun and nostalgia of ‘Beetlejuice’ to our all-new Norwegian Viva.”
The 90-minute Broadway adaptation of Tim Burton’s 1988 movie tells the story of the Deetz family as they remodel a haunted house. It will be full of special effects as it is presented in the three-story Viva Theater & Club.
Not only will guests be able to enjoy performers as they sing and dance to the show’s tune classics, but they will also have the opportunity to see Michelle D’Amico, a cast member of the Broadway production, as she steps into her role as Lydia on the Norwegian Viva.
Norwegian Cruise Line Senior Vice President of Entertainment and Cruise Programming Richard Ambrose added, “We pride ourselves on not only delivering amazing performances for theater fans but introducing guests to Broadway and West End-caliber shows, which are made even more special by the incredible setting of the Viva Theatre & Club that seamlessly transforms from a best-in-class theater experience to an expansive nightclub.”
Norwegian Viva is the cruise line’s second Prima class ship and is currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy
