Norwegian Cruise Line unveils the new face of entertainment which will be on board Norwegian Epic at an exciting reveal event in New York City. The event, attended by 300 travel partners and media, began with a presentation at trendy Butter Restaurant where the Blue Man Group crashed the event and ushered guests across the street to their Astor Place Theater where a 25-minute performance ensued with Norwegian’s CEO Kevin Sheehan headlining one of the group’s interactive acts. The Blue Man Group will present eight performances in the 685-seat Epic Theater over the course of Norwegian Epic’s seven-day cruises.
Norwegian also announced the first “big top” at sea with Cirque Dreams® and Dinner performing in the 265-seat theater-in-the-round Spiegel Tent. At the event, famed producer/director Neil Goldberg described what Norwegian Epic guests will see as a one of a kind interactive dinner theater where performances will be staged throughout the meal by troupe members who will also serve dinner plates and fill water glasses from the air. During this two-hour show, guests will marvel in amazement and become part of a celebration of spectacle and fantasy. The entire experience will be unlike anything else at sea.
