NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess
Cruises celebrated the New York
premiere of "Born to Dance," the latest offering from its
first-of-its-kind partnership with Stephen
Schwartz, Oscar®, Grammy® and Tony Award®-winning composer
of "Wicked," "Godspell," and "Pippin." Joining Schwartz aboard
Regal Princess for the premiere was director/creator Daniel C. Levine ("Les Miserables," "Mamma
Mia!").
Born to Dance celebrates the aspirations, hurdles and triumphs
of professional dancers, as told through tributes to Broadway's
greatest choreography in a feel-good story. 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 entertainment 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 Levine and is
now showing aboard Golden Princess, Grand Princess, Star Princess,
and Regal Princess. Additional creative team talent includes
costume design by six time Tony Award® winner William Ivey Long, musical arrangement by Bryan
Perri ("Wicked"), choreography by Al Blackstone ("So You
Think You Can Dance"), and scenic design by Tony Award® winner
Beowulf Boritt.
