Holland America Line has announced an all-new stage show aboard its Koningsdam ship from November.
The show, “Fosse and Verdon, The Duet That Changed Broadway", is billed as the first international staging of the duo’s work at sea.
It is expected to blend live performance with rare archival elements to celebrate the creative partnership of choreographer, director Bob Fosse and dancer-actress Gwen Verdon.
Billed as the first international staging of the duo’s work at sea, the show will feature iconic numbers from shows like “Cabaret” and “Chicago,” with reconstructed choreography, and video wrapped around a 270-degree surround screen.
"Guests have expressed a strong desire for more Broadway-style productions, and we couldn't imagine a better way to deliver than by celebrating two legends of the performing arts," said Joe Chantry, Holland America vice president of entertainment and enrichment.
"We're proud to offer this exclusive Holland America Line experience as part of our commitment to world-class entertainment."
The show is a collaboration between Holland America and live-experience specialist RWS Global.
"We're thrilled to join forces with Holland America Line and The Verdon Fosse Legacy to honor their iconic works and create a bold, unforgettable experience for audiences around the world," RWS chief creative officer Craig Laurie said.
