A unique feature about the Seaside is that there is a different stage show each evening of the cruise. Yes, SEVEN different shows. They are only 30-45 minutes in length, so nothing that should concern you as far as missing other events or feeling too tied up when going to see one. They also schedule three shows per night, so everyone gets a chance to see them. One word of warning, the descriptions online and within the app put out by MSC are not accurate nor descriptive of the actual show. There is very little dialogue due to the high rate of international passengers. There is singing, in various languages, but you don't always need words to be part of a good story.
Stage Shows
The Dream- It seems like this name changed from when they released the show list to when we sailed in mid-March. I believe this one is now called The Dream. It was rather interesting. A smorgasbord of things, themes, and stunts. From Roller skating tricks to pole dancing (don't worry, she kept her clothes on), to phallic camels. (see below). It was, definitely, entertaining, I laughed so hard I cried at one point. The performers are talented. Strong voices, athletic dancers and performers, and great talent.
My Life in Music- Describes itself as famous soundtracks live on stage. I took that to mean pop music. I was incorrect. It was famous operas. I have a funny, personal, story with this one. We brought the baby with us because we gave him a night off from the nursery. The show began, and I immediately wasn't interested in watching. Just not my style. The baby was on my husband's lap and threw up. My husband turned to me and told me. My mind immediately thought, Great! an excuse to leave! So I turned to our friends and told them we were leaving because the baby got sick. She immediately said, "Oh we should go help you!" I guess she probably thought the same thing as me. Thanks, baby for letting us leave the show early! ;)
Frank Forever- Frank Sinatra tribute. We did not attend this one as it played on the first night. The most common feedback was that it was Frank Sinatra with Italian accents.
Fly- based on the Madame Butterfly Opera. We did not see this one.
The Wizard- An illusion show. Another one we missed due to dinner timing and availability of show times on that particular night.
Latin Planet- A mix of different Latin dances. We did not make it to this one.
Timeless- Michael Jackson tribute. We also missed this one, sadly, as it was one that I wanted to see and get's great reviews.
Peter Punk- A new rendition of Peter Pan with acrobatics, dancing, and more. This is a show that everyone was raving about. Sadly, it was on the final evening of our cruise, and we had to pack and get things together for our departure.
