My pleasure! Thank you for watching! It’s a great job when things go right - which is most of the time. When things get stressful, it can make the hours between working really, really hard!

Can’t wait for you to get to experience it! It will be what you make it! Focus on the good and hold on for dear life. There’s some not great stuff about ship life and if you choose to focus on it, it can consume you. The performance aspect, the connection with guests, the travel, the new friendships, those can be some amazing parts of your journey. Focus on that!

Ifs great for us because we get the visibility that the theater provides. Performing for that many people at the same time means our sets are packed every night afterward. It’s also nice for the cruise line because they have already hired us which means that’s one less guest entertainer they need to bring onboard or one less production cast to pay for.

So great! With doing all your regular lounge gigs at night can you speak to whether and how your pay was increased for all of your extra work?
@DavidPaigeMusic

Thank you so much! Our pay was not increased at all, in fact all of our contracts include the phrase “may be asked to perform additional duties” This was the additional duty that the lounge musicians have been asked to do. In fact, this position is still paid SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the rest of the theater performers and we do not have the privileges that the other theater performers have, despite this show being a theater production. While I cannot speak to the reasons driving decision making in the upper management at NCL corporate, I can say that we noticed that NCL did cut several large production shows from their roster, perhaps the “free” option seemed like a good idea to those in charge of the budget for the fleet-wide entertainment. Having said all that, we love this show and are grateful for the opportunity to perform in it!

@@DavidPaigeMusic Thank you so much for your reply and insights. I guess as a cost cutting measure they are now incorporating Lounge into main shows. Interesting move. I enjoy you contact and transparency! Very helpful. Thank you!

It's impressive how much goes into this kind of show. We played a sock hop last week and the venue owner's mixing board didn't work :(. Also, the piano was wildly out of tune, ha. Bu it was all good! Everyone enjoyed themselves and amazingly, no one noticed the piano but the band members.

It’s amazing the stories we get from playing dives like that. And what an audience will miss like that piano being out of tune but then they catch the smallest other things!
