One of the most exciting events on #SethsBwayCruise is the final variety show. Not only do the celebrities do duets and trios that they've never performed together before (Liz Callaway joined Judy Kuhn for "Someone Else's Story" from CHESS), but the passengers star in production numbers with the stars!

Throughout the cruise, Seth rehearses with the passengers and, on the last night, they join the stars onstage for the final variety show.

Here is Tony nominee Christopher Fitzgerald and #SethsBwayCruise passengers performing "Join The Circus" from BARNUM, a show in which he starred in London!

Seth taught everyone the music and Chris taught them how to juggle!


SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky (dubbed "The Mayor of Broadway" by Audra McDonald), has teamed up with cruise travel expert Judy Perl to create Seth's Big Fat Broadway Vacations, a new line of Broadway-themed cruises. The vacations include itineraries on luxury cruise lines including Regent Seven Seas, Cunard and Celebrity. The partnership's first 2020 offering will be in February to the Caribbean on Celebrity. The new partnership brings together a Broadway insider with a VIP travel expert.

Seth Rudetsky, who began on Broadway as a musician for such shows as Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and The Producers, is known worldwide for his irreverent and in-depth takes on everything Broadway. His solo shows have garnered five-star reviews in London, and his Broadway musical Disaster! was a New York Times critics' pick. Seth's comedy writing has garnered him three Emmy nominations.

Seth is the host and music director for The Seth Rudetsky Series in which he teams with Broadway stars such as Patti LuPone and Sutton Foster in concert halls across the country and at New York City's Town Hall for hilarious off-the-cuff interviews and show-stopping performances.
