Crystal has shared details about the next sailing in its “Crystal on Broadway” series. The sailings, which host Broadway notables, include performances and a special workshop of “Ever After The Musical.” The sailing will depart from New York (Bayonne, New Jersey) on 31 October 2025, aboard Crystal Serenity. The nine-day voyage will call in Newport, Provincetown, Boston, Portland and Saint John, New Brunswick, before returning to New York on 8 November 2025.
Among the Broadway artists joining the sailing are:
- Kevin McCollum, Tony Award-winning Broadway producer of “RENT,” “Avenue Q” and “In the Heights,” as well as stage productions of “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “The Devil Wears Prada.”
- Sierra Boggess, known for “The Little Mermaid,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Harmony” and “School of Rock,” as well as London’s “Love Never Dies” (Olivier Award nomination) and “Les Misérables.”
- Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich, the award-winning lyricist/composer duo behind “Ever After The Musical.” Their past work includes “The Great American Mousical,” written by Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton (fun fact: Andrews is godmother to Crystal Serenity).
- Marlo Hunter, award-winning director and choreographer of “Ever After The Musical,” was recently named a ‘Woman to Watch on Broadway’by the Broadway Women’s Fund. Her work spans acclaimed theatres including Second Stage, Roundabout and Williamstown Theatre Festival, with credits in both stage and film.
Programming includes:
- Mainstage Performance with Sierra Boggess: Guests will enjoy a cabaret-style concert by Boggess, accompanied by Crystal Serenity’s showband.
- “Ever After The Musical” Workshop: Heisler, Goldrich and Hunter will present songs from the new musical alongside Boggess, followed by a Q&A session. Based on the 1998 film, the show reimagines the Cinderella story with a spirited, independent heroine and a message of empowerment. Still in development and coming to Broadway, “Ever After The Musical” is in the creative stage where songs, storylines and staging evolve before reaching the stage.
- Special Performance with Heisler and Goldrich: The writers of “Ever After The Musical” will perform a piano-and-vocal show reminiscent of New York’s iconic 54 Below, with works from their careers.
