Britain's Top Musicals as TUI's Musical-Themed Cruise Launches
A survey commissioned by Marella Cruises found that Disney's The Lion King is Britain's favourite musical, selected by 18% of respondents, followed by Mamma Mia! and Grease. The Lion King was also the most-watched production, while ABBA's “Dancing Queen” topped the favourite musical songs. The findings coincide with Marella Cruises' launch of Musical Med-leys, a five-night sailing aboard Marella Voyager featuring performances and Q&A sessions with West End stars Zoe Birkett, Lee Mead and Jenna Lee-James. Prices start at £775 per person, including flights, meals, drinks, tips and service charges.
