With its transformational design, Celebrity Edge® is poised to raise the bar on modern travel to even greater heights, and the entertainment on board is just as game-changing as the ship itself.
Visionary design and innovative entertainment come together through the collaborative genius of Scott Butler, the award-winning founding partner of Wilson Butler Architects; Patricia Urquiola, world-renowned industrial designer, and art director; and Tom Wright, internationally acclaimed architect, and designer of the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai.
“We wanted to take the idea of traditional theater and turn it on its head,” said Butler. “The Theatre on Celebrity Edge was designed to awaken people – immersing them in the experience, stimulating their senses and altering their expectations for live entertainment.”
“In designing Celebrity Edge, we developed and used some of the most advanced technology available. And, in designing the entertainment venues on Celebrity Edge, we used those same tools to break the mold of what people think an entertainment venue is,” said Keith Lane, Senior Vice President, Hotel Operations, Celebrity Cruises.
INTRODUCING THE THEATRE – A FEAT WORTHY OF A STANDING OVATION
The Theatre on Celebrity Edge throws away the curtain altogether, blurring the line between audience and performance and immersing guests in an entertainment experience like no other. The Theatre offers an ever-changing canvas for the productions that live here.
The main stage extends into the audience creating a theater-in-the-round sensation. A duo-directional rotating platform rises almost seven feet above the stage to take performances to a whole new level. With two rotating spiral staircases, 6 synchronized panoramic projection screens, 18 state-of-the-art video mapping laser projectors, aerial performance rigging, and more, the technology behind the scenes will at times steal the show.
Plus, a brand-new production show, Feel the Funk, has been added for the 2023 inaugural Australia and New Zealand season! Feel the Funk, produced by Black Skull Creative is new to The Theatre line-up and bound to get audiences grooving! Feel the Funk is a funky, exciting, and fashionably nostalgic with a modern twist—this dynamic, fast-paced concert will get your feet pumping, heart racing, and body grooving as singers, dancers, and musicians bring the music of the 70s through today to life in a pop focused, funk-style show.
“We are thrilled to have partnered with an industry-leading creative team to bring Feel the Funk to life, just in time for Celebrity Edge’s inaugural season Down Under. The high energy choreography, vocals and stage production deliver next-level energy so contagious we know audiences will take that vibrancy into the rest of their evenings, well after the final curtain call,” said Lisa Lehr, Vice President, Entertainment, Celebrity Cruises.
In addition to Feel the Funk, at The Theatre guests can enjoy three more full production shows, including:
