Cruising Broadway, a once-flourishing cruise line theater production company, finds itself in dire straits. Max Titus, the owner and show producer, alongside Captain/co-owner Abdul Habib, face the challenge of keeping their business afloat financially. Rainbow Tours, managed by Justina Casey, initially booked Cruising Broadway for a cruise featuring performances of “Cats.” However, Max’s premature claim of having secured the rights led to complications. To add to the chaos, Justina Casey resorted to deception, posing as gay to secure her job. Despite these setbacks, the SS Ethel Merman embarks on its final tour to Bermuda. However, the journey takes an unexpected turn when the ship becomes lost in the enigmatic Bermuda Triangle. In a bid to maintain a facade of normalcy and comfort for the passengers, Max, the Captain, and their resourceful crew strive to keep the show running using any means necessary. What ensues is a comedic escapade, reminiscent of the iconic “Love Boat,” with surreal twists as Max and the Captain attempt to explain their predicament. Amidst the chaos, the boat’s creative team, led by Nina, a former Ukrainian prima ballerina, ingeniously incorporates the new guests into the entertainment lineup. Meanwhile, romantic entanglements unfold, with Victor Mature providing a distraction for the Captain, and the sultry waitress Shoorah developing feelings for Justina under mistaken assumptions. As news of turmoil in the outside world reaches the ship, passengers and crew alike are faced with a poignant dilemma: whether to embrace their newfound paradise aboard the vessel, dubbed “Boatopia,” or confront the harsh realities awaiting them upon returning home. Ultimately, Cruising Broadway becomes a journey of self-discovery and reinvention for all onboard, prompting them to question if civilization beckons them back or if they are content to permanently escape the chaos of the world they left behind. Step aboard and join the adventure to discover where the voyage of Cruising Broadway leads. cruisingbroadway.com The writing of this musical has just been completed and I’m hoping to get it produced with some development. I really hope that the humour translates and this is why I’d love some preliminary reading to take place as soon as possible.
