Crystal on Broadway Cruise to Feature Broadway Stars

Crystal Cruises announced that it will host a Crystal on Broadway cruise aboard Crystal Serenity on Oct. 31, 2025. The one-time sailing, round-trip from New York (Bayonne, NJ), will feature a workshop and other events about Ever After The Musical, adapted from the 1998 film.

Passengers will enjoy Broadway-style entertainment and select highlights from members of the musical’s creative team. The production re-imagines the Cinderella story with a modern heroine. While not yet on Broadway, the performers are established Broadway names, giving passengers rare access to their artistry and the show’s development.

On Stage and Behind the Scenes

Lyricist Marcy Heisler, composer Zina Goldrich and director Marlo Hunter will lead the workshop. Passengers will see excerpts performed live and hear insights from the team during a Q&A session. Heisler and Goldrich will also give a concert-style performance of their songs. Together, these events offer a rare look into the creative process before the show moves closer to Broadway.
