So how do you get your golden ticket?

While visiting Norwegian Creative Studios in Tampa, Dance Informa’s Deborah Searle chatted with Norwegian Cruise Line’s Director of Entertainment Production, Robert Dean Hertenstein, about what he and his colleagues are looking for when casting their shows.

Norwegian Cruise Line presents world class shows on their fleet of 14 stunning ships, including Broadway productions Legally Blonde, Shout!, Rock of Ages and most recently Swing! by Lynne Taylor-Corbett, which just opened on the Norwegian Pearl in March. The company also presents several unique shows created especially for Norwegian such as Paradis (an ode to Moulin Rouge) and the ever popular Elements which is full of contemporary dance, ballet, aerial work, illusions, water levitation and more!
