The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel to be Staged in Cunard Flagship Queen Mary 2

Before Christmas, performances of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel will be held on the Cunard flagship Queen Mary 2.

Three lunchtime and evening performances of the play, which is now in production at London’s Richmond Theatre, will take place in the ship’s Royal Court Theatre from 15th to 22nd December during a seven-night transatlantic voyage.

A behind-the-scenes Q&A, workshops, and other opportunities to interact with the cast, which also features Paul Nicholas, Rula Lenska, and Hayley Mills, will be available to passengers.

President of Cunard parent company Carnival UK, Sture Myrmell, stated: “We are thrilled to welcome the cast of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel aboard our flagship, Queen Mary 2, in December. 

“Our guests will be able to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this exclusive performance at sea and meet the stars.”

Show producer Simon Friend added: “I am excited for our production of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel to embark on this adventure. 

“As a show about exploring the world and finding yourself anew, I hope that it will connect with guests watching while on the voyage.”
