<p>Royal Caribbean International is slipping-on its boogie shoes this  spring and debuting Saturday Night Fever: The Musical, the third  licensed main-stage musical production at sea for the cruise line.  Created by Royal Caribbean Productions in association with Robert  Stigwood Organisation Ltd., the acclaimed-West End show will debut  aboard Liberty of the Seas  in April 2011, as part of the ship&rsquo;s  revitalization and shipboard enhancements beginning in late January 2011  aboard the popular Freedom-class cruise ship.  Based on the hugely  popular, 1970s feature film, Saturday Night Fever, the theatrical  experience features a repertoire of hit songs from The Bee Gees song  album sure to inspire guests to dance the night away.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The debut of Saturday Night Fever: The Musical, created  by Royal Caribbean Productions&rsquo; in-house entertainment team, continues  to raise the bar for cruise vacations aboard one of our most innovative  ships,&rdquo; said Lisa Bauer, senior vice president, Hotel Operations, Royal  Caribbean International. &ldquo;Our award-winning musical productions have  been so incredibly well-received by guests, first with Hairspray aboard  Oasis of the Seas and then with the announcement of Chicago: the Musical  aboard Allure of the Seas. It&rsquo;s only fitting we broaden the selection  to include a West End hit as Liberty of the Seas embarks on its maiden  season in Europe for summer 2011.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Saturday Night Fever: The Musical premiered in the West  End at the London Palladium in 1998 and has been seen by over 10 million  people worldwide, thrilling theater and music buffs alike throughout  the years.  On Liberty of the Seas, the story of Tony, the ambitious  Brooklyn youth who spends his Saturday nights disco dancing, will be  brought to life on stage in the ship&rsquo;s state-of-the-art, 1,320-seat  Platinum Theatre. The storyline and music that created the worldwide  disco phenomenon will take guests away to a different era with such  cult-classics songs as &ldquo;Stayin&rsquo; Alive,&rdquo; &ldquo;Tragedy,&rdquo; &ldquo;If I Can&rsquo;t Have You&rdquo;  and &ldquo;Boogie Shoes.&rdquo;</p>
