MARELLA CRUISES ANNOUNCE CRUISE FIRST WITH LIFE-SIZE ELEPHANT PUPPET SHOW ‘JUMBO AND THE WONDER CIRCUS’
June 26 2024 – Marella Cruises has announced its latest entertainment programme onboard Marella Discovery 2 with acts to entertain all ages including the cruise-debut of a life-size elephant puppet in ‘Jumbo and The Wonder Circus’’. The West-End style show takes inspiration from ‘War Horse’, ‘Life of Pi’ and ‘My Neighbour Totoro and starts this June.
The show ‘Jumbo and The Wonder Circus’ was created by RWS Global and the puppet is made from specialist lightweight materials, which allows flexible lifelike movements from his trunk, legs and head. It was crafted to replicate a full-sized African elephant which stands at 2.16m high, 2.9M long and 1M wide.
The heartfelt tale is set in a vintage circus and follows the story of Jumbo the Elephant and his relationship with Madame Rose who owns the circus. The story follows the circus acts as they come together to save Jumbo and bring him home after he runs away after being spooked. With authentic bespoke costuming, traditional circus set designs and aerial performances, the show is set to special arrangements of well-known hits from modern bands such as Coldplay, Katy Perry, Paloma Faith and U2.
Other shows which will debut on Marella Discovery 2 are ‘Yellow Submarine’’, which celebrates and remixes The Beatles iconic tracks with a giant inflatable yellow submarine, quirky set designs with psychedelic 60s costumes; ‘Hollywoodland’’ a love story which follows an ambitious actor who wants to make it in Hollywood and includes music from films from ‘La La Land’ and ‘Singin’ in the Rain’; and finally ‘7 Sins of Rock’, which showcases rock classics from Pink, Muse, Oasis and Aerosmith.
Chris Hackney, Managing Director, Marella Cruises: “We’re always looking to refresh our entertainment on board, and with ‘Jumbo and the Wonder Circus’, the life-size puppet will be a first for a cruise line to be showcasing such an act, along with the other shows coming to Marella Discovery 2. Our new West-End style entertainment will give customers a new range of entertainment to enjoy when they’re on board our ship.”
Sarah-Lou Twist, Creative Director for RWS Global said: “RWS Global is thrilled to be pushing boundaries when it comes to new productions on the Marella Cruises fleet. We understand that theatre shows are a big part of the cruise experience for the guests, so we aim to bring fresh and innovative concepts to stage that rival the quality of entertainment seen in the West End and on Broadway.
“By working with our expansive team who are the best in the industry when it comes to track production, scenic design, costumery and creative, we are proud to offer these exclusive shows to the Marella Cruises that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world!”
