Celebrity Constellation Production Team “Land of Make Believe”. October 28, 2011.

On board Celebrity Constellation.  Celebrity Theater: Seat Balcony Left.

This is a one-hour Broadway-style mini-show with a rather old story line: a couple wants to get married, the groom’s mother doesn’t like the bride-to-be and schemes to break up the relationship, but to no avail.  At the end all is well that ends well.

Tried and true the story line might be, in the hands of a good producer, the right elements could be brought to bear to make the show enjoyable.  Alas, this wasn’t the case here.

The show does draw storylines from different shows (including Broadway’s), these include Wicked, Bye Bye Birdie, and others.  (I am not that familiar with Broadway shows, and I am typing this several days later.)

Again, you have to admire the cast’s ability to take on the workload, the same people from last night’s show were playing different roles in this production; there was even this dream sequence performed by the acrobats, who also double as actors in the cast.

[Note: We saw another evening program, this time a magic show, after this one.  Those were the three we watched during this 12-night cruise.]
