Following our exciting win – on behalf of Marella Cruises, in the ‘Best for Entertainment’ category at last year’s prestigious Wave Awards, we were delighted to be invited back to present the opening show at this year’s Awards gala dinner on March 7.
Our aim was to create a short show which not only befitted the occasion, but would astonish and amaze the hundreds of guests attending this year’s ceremony, hosted at London’s De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms. The results are Africa! – our exclusive musical and dance homage to the Serengeti!
“These are the premier industry awards which celebrate the very best of the UK’s cruise industry and to be invited to perform is a great honour,” revealed Alan Cutler who heads up Peel Talent. “We’ve worked with Marella, one of the sponsors of this year’s event, for over 15 years and we are looking forward to giving delegates a taste of what we do best.”
Africa! is a soul stirring musical and dance homage to the emotional sights and sounds of the Serengeti. It will be performed by an internationally diverse cast featuring the London African Gospel Choir, authentic African drummers and principal West End singers and dancers. It is guaranteed to be a stunning and inspirational celebration of life and a fabulous scene setter for these global awards.
Now in its fourth year, the Wave Awards have become established as ‘the Oscars of cruising’ and promote 36 awards across six categories plus ‘Passenger Favourites’ voted exclusively for by the public. Further details can be found at www.thewaveawards.com.
