AFAR ATLANTIC ISLES 14 NIGHTS DEPARTS OCT 23, 2022 SEVEN SEAS NAVIGATOR

Along with jazz and abstract expressionism, the Broadway musical is one of the few uniquely American art forms.  This Spotlight on Broadway will include an array of highly acclaimed Broadway performers sharing their stories and their favorite Broadway tunes in concert.   Performers will discuss insights into the craft of theater with curated interactive panel discussions. We’ll also feature Broadway directors and producers who will provide unique insights on the inner workings of bringing a Broadway show to the Great White Way. This fully immersive Broadway adventure combines the glitz, glamour, and fanfare of the timeless Broadway tradition.

Several PBS films will be screened in the Constellation Theater.  We will also share the six-part PBS documentary series, BROADWAY: THE AMERICAN MUSICAL, the first comprehensive history of the musical, from its roots at the turn of the 20th century through the smashing successes of the new millennium. The documentary tells two stories: the 100-year history of musical theater and the story of its relationship to 20th-century American life. The six-part series begins with the immigrant experience at the turn of the century, when a melting pot of voices and styles gave rise to a popular new form of entertainment, and ends with today’s Broadway, where big-budget new productions and revivals of classic favorites compete side by side for box office success

This 14-night itinerary offers travelers access to the very best of Broadway.   These presentations will be coupled with celebrations of arts, culture and history courtesy of filmmakers from PBS’ American Masters and Great Performances. 

Meet and engage with these experts and their featured guests at panel discussions, presentations, as well as private dinners and cocktail receptions which allow for one-on-one interaction during the unforgettable voyage.
