VALENCIA, Calif., Sept. 29,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury cruise line Cunard
in conjunction with Simon Friend Entertainment announces the
performance of Deborah Moggach's
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel aboard flagship ocean
liner Queen Mary 2, December 15-22,
2022 (M240). Headlining the show are celebrated stars of
stage and screen, Hayley
Mills (Pollyanna, The Parent Trap,
Whistle Down the Wind) who stars as Evelyn, Paul Nicholas (Jesus Christ Superstar, BBC 1's
Just Good Friends,
Eastenders) who plays Douglas and Rula Lenska (ITV's
Rock Follies, Coronation Street, Channel 4's
Celebrity Big Brother) who performs as Madge in this
feel-good tale of love and adventure.
The show's producer Simon Friend
commented, "I am terrifically excited for our production of The
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel to embark on this adventure. Cunard's
rich history is one of sophistication, catering for the most
intrepid of travellers, and it is enormously flattering to be
associated with this legacy. As a show about exploring the world
and finding yourself anew, I hope too that it will connect to
patrons watching while on the voyage!"
"I thought I'd done it all but performing on the Queen Mary 2 in
the North Atlantic will be an incredibly exciting new adventure to
me and for the whole company," said Hayley
Mills.
The show, which is currently in production at London's Richmond Theatre, will conduct three
matinee and evening performances in the ship's Royal Court Theatre
during the seven-night Transatlantic Crossing. In addition, guests
will have the opportunity to enjoy a behind the scenes Q&A, as
well as workshops and other appearances with the star-studded
cast.
Based on the bestselling novel which inspired one of this
century's most treasured films, The Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel takes us on a journey to India with an eclectic group of British
retirees as they embark on a new life. The luxury residence is far
from the opulence they were promised, but as their lives begin to
intertwine and they embrace the vibrancy of modern-day India, they are charmed in unexpected and
life-changing ways.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a joyous,
feel-good comedy about taking risks, finding love, and embracing
second chances, even in the most surprising of places.
"Cunard is thrilled to offer our guests this exclusive at sea
performance aboard our flagship Queen Mary 2 along with the
opportunity to meet the show's star-studded cast. This 'only on
Cunard' moment provides guests with carefully curated
experiences and memories that last a lifetime," said Matt Gleaves, VP, Commercial - North America and Australasia for Cunard.
