"Princess audiences are mesmerized by our high caliber,
Broadway-style shows," said Denise
Saviss, vice president, entertainment experience for
Princess Cruises. "As part of our 'Come Back New Promise,'
providing guests enriching vacation experiences through enhanced
onboard product offerings, 'Born to Dance' and 'Encore' deliver

"Born to Dance"
Created in partnership with
Stephen Schwartz, Oscar®, Grammy®
and Tony Award®-winning composer of "Wicked," "Godspell," and
"Pippin," "Born to Dance" is the second offering in the cruise
line's exclusive partnership. The show celebrates the aspirations,
hurdles and triumphs of professional dancers, as told through
tributes to Broadway's greatest choreography in a feel-good
story.
"We're proud of our dynamic collaboration with Stephen Schwartz bringing our second revered
show to life with 'Born to Dance.' Guests love the high-energy
music and dancing," added Saviss.
Princess audiences get a glimpse of what it takes to be a
dancer, the highs and lows and that driving need to dance brought
to life by some of Broadway's most famous hits including "West Side
Story," "A Chorus Line," "Chicago"
and more. A who's-who of acclaimed choreographers and dancers
virtually join the multi-media production, tracing the journey of
the great artists and shows that made musical theater history.
Overseeing the creative development of four brand new shows for
Princess Cruises, Schwartz brings together an illustrious team of
Broadway talent to support the productions through direction and
design. "Born to Dance" is created and directed by Daniel C. Levine from Broadways' "Les
Misérables" and "Mamma Mia!" and is now showing aboard Golden
Princess, Grand Princess and Star Princess. Additional talent
includes costume design by six time Tony Award® winner William Ivey Long, musical arrangement by
Bryan Perri, conductor for
Broadway's Wicked, choreography by Al Blackstone from the hit show So You Think
You Can Dance, and scenic design by Tony Award® winner
Beowulf Boritt.
The show will premiere next on Regal Princess in October. Find

"Encore"
Celebrating the cruise line's legacy of
original entertainment created in-house, "Encore" is inspired by
the cruise line's top-rated show "Bravo" and accompanied by an
impressive onstage orchestra.
"We embrace our long-standing tradition of creating original
entertainment to captivate our guests and 'Encore' delivers a
moving performance audiences will remember long after the curtain
closes," added Saviss.
"Encore" pays homage to the traditions of pop, opera and musical
theater in a spellbinding experience set amidst the romantic
splendor of a beautiful Montecito
garden. Showcasing new songs performed by a true soprano guest
artist and combined with elaborate costumes and stunning sets, the
show is conceived, directed and choreographed by American Idol's
Danny Teeson, with musical direction
by Academy Awards arranger Nelson
Kole and set design by Emmy® award-winner John Iacovelli.
Coral Princess, Island Princess and Sea Princess are currently
showing "Encore," with Royal Princess the next ship to receive the
show in December. The show trailer and more details can be
