While other passengers enjoy their luxurious journey, twins Isla and Lindsay venture below decks, only to be swept away in a current of schemes and whimsy. Come find out more at the swashbuckling, high-kicking, shipshow that is Ship Happens: A Cruisical! Directed by Marc Tuminelli, choreographed by Katelin Zelon, and music directed by Pete Mills.
