Royal Caribbean International is the first cruise line to feature fully licensed, Tony Award-winning Broadway productions, and its newest smartship Anthem of the Seas is now host to a production of We Will Rock You, based on the music of Queen.
Written by British comedian Ben Elton, the original production's credits include production design and video direction by the late Mark Fisher of Stufish, lighting design and video direction by Willie Williams, sound design by Bobby Aitken, and costume design by Tim Goodchild. The adapted production aboard Anthem features the work of Royal Caribbean's production designers Gerry Hariton & Vicki Baral, assistant scenic designer Andrew Broomell, show automation programmer Trevor Mills, technical director Carl Impey, stage manager/production assistant Jorge Trelles, supernumerary lead stage technician James Zobrist, supernumerary stage technicians Thomas Nikitas, Joshua Perrill, and Tim Karlsen; head electrician Ben Couling; media programmer Jan Suling; automation programmer Trevor Mills; and scenic production by River City Scenic, Inc.
