Bon Voyage to the Cast of the 
Norwegian SPIRIT!

We have a tradition of giving first time GMC cast members a company jacket as a going away gift. Here are first timers from the SPIRIT cast.

The cast of the Norwegian SPIRIT left this morning to head to New Orleans where they will join the ship this afternoon. Here are some shots of their farewell dinner on Thursday night. This cast has really worked hard - the Spirit shows demand it! They're going to be spending the next week learning the blocking and costume changes, and being trained for all the things you need to know when you're working on a ship. The first week on any ship is the hardest. The hours are crazy and and the new lifestyle can be challenging at first. Mindy McLemore, Brandon Thomas, Claire Williams and our team of wardrobe personnel are there to make it go as smoothly as possible. The cast that's out there now has also been incredibly supportive in preparing for the handover to the new cast. We wish the entire SPIRIT cast and GMC team all the best for a smooth handover! I will be in Belize on Thursday to meet the current cast and see the new cast in final dress rehearsals. I am really looking forward to the trip!
