Our new concept in shipboard entertainment aboard Holland America Line is the new “Showroom At Sea”. The centerpiece of this new entertainment lineup is a musical repertory company, showcasing singers from two distinct vocal styles, one operetta/legitimate musical theatre and the other Broadway/contemporary pop, as well as dancers and a musical comedy actor. Various combinations of performers appear each night… from two classical singers backed by a 14-piece orchestra, to a four man pop/rock doo-wop group on a street corner, to a singing host and his guests in a fictitious Vegas nightclub, to an ensemble for the ultimate Broadway tribute.  Please check out the "Showroom At Sea" page audition for requirements.

In Rehearsal News...
The incredible Westerdam singers and dancers are midway through rehearsals here in LA. This group has been working with Director/Choreographer John Charron to tweak and update some of our existing shows. We are super excited to see the completed results! From the bits and pieces we've been able to catch, this group is nothing short of amazing. John's work is fresh and fun! We are also about to welcome the Noordam cast members here to LA. Looking forward to having these talented folks here in a week!

In Audition News...
James and I have hit the Audition Tour Road once again this year! Our numbers are up and the talent is 'wow'ing us! We're proud and excited to announce that we have a few new cities to add to our tour this year. Not only are we visiting some of our regular cities, we are happy to report we will be heading to Nashville, Boston, Paris and Amsterdam this year! We will be racking up the Delta Skymiles and filling our cabinets with talented new friends.

As always, we encourage veterans to recommend friends and send more talented folks our way. Of course, veterans looking for your next ship opportunity please check out the Casting Matrix on the website!

In Ship News...
The Ryndam & Statendam Showroom at Sea entertainers both concluded their rehearsals here in LA. They were looking and sounding fantastic and we are certain both groups will dazzle their audiences! Good Luck on your changeovers!!!! The World Cruise entertainers have now boarded the Prinsendam and will begin Leg 3 of their "Tour de Force." This talented group has not only performed for our Amsterdam passengers, but they also were the first cast to showcase STILETTO Entertainment productions onboard the ms Seabourn Quest. We hope they are having a great time in their fabulous ports of call and thank them for their constant flexibility in rolling from ship to ship to ship. The Zuiderdam, Noordam, Westerdam, Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Statendam, Ryndam and Maasdam performers are delighting passengers with great shows while enjoying the sun of the Caribbean and Mexico. The Veendam entertainers are enjoying fun and sun in South America while the Volendam entertainers are currently savoring their time Down Under in Australia! Safe travels to the Rotterdam entertainers as they leave the French Polynesia cross the equator and head to the waters of Mexico. And, ALOHA to the Oosterdam cast as they are cruising Hawaii and Mexico. The Amsterdam & Zaandam casts are traveling through Asia, and we hope to get some great photos from them!

To all our fabulous entertainment 'family' we say Thank You for giving your very best and representing STILETTO Entertainment so adeptly.
