Cruising past COVID; rebooting gigs onboard

Brett Annable describes what he does as being, ‘less about cruise ship entertainment, and more about art’.

Talking with Annable onboard the Pacific Encounter – the second of P&Os ships to return after two years of COVID ‘mothballing’ – he told ArtsHub: ‘We’ve got a cast of 12 in our main theater, a cast of six here in Black Circus [cabaret-style theatre], we have about 20-odd musicians, about three or four comedians on every single cruise and then we have some fly-in-fly-out guest entertainers, who come on and perform their show, and they could be jugglers, magicians – so a wide variety of different performers.’
