Floating Festivals is the brainchild of cruise entertainment expert Jonathan Blackburn. Jonathan said: “We are thrilled to once again be presenting an absolute musical theatre extravaganza at sea.
“The reaction to last year’s Stages cruise was phenomenal.Our passengers absolutely grasped the concept of what we were trying to achieve and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was glitz, glamour and red carpets in abundance sitting alongside the most wonderful live performances from the crème de la crème of the West End and Broadway.
“This year we are coming back even bigger and we can’t wait. Stages is all about celebrating the world of musical theatre through stunning live performances, providing guests with the opportunity to meet and hear from the people behind some of the most celebrated shows in the world and of course, it’s about getting dressed up and feeling glitzy.
