That news broke on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Can it be a co-incidence that on that very day, Norwegian "Cruise" Lines announced Rock <\/em>of Ages<\/em> will be one of the Broadway shows on NCL's new ship, the Breakaway<\/a>, still almost a year away from its launch?<\/p>\n Let's be clear…Norwegian<\/a> made its theatrical decision long before the Cruise-Holmes split, probably long before "Team Cruise" even knew there would be a split. But, given that the words "Cruise" and "Rock of Ages" are making headlines, why not try capturing some of the attention?<\/p>\n What NCL really wants to capture is some of the attention that the movie is getting, albeit somewhat less magnanimous than anticipated. And really, the fact that Mr. "Cruise" appears in the movie is collateral advantage, because the Broadway show was a hit long before the movie was made…and was responsible for the making of the movie.<\/p>\n Since its opening night in 2006 in Los Angeles<\/a>, the show has played in other countries — London's<\/a> West End, Australia, the Philippines and Canada — which makes it even more attractive to NCL's geographical diversity of passengers. It was a hit in Toronto<\/a> and Australia, and a natural for NCL, the industry leader in cruise ship entertainment.<\/p>\n A natural?<\/p>\n The Breakaway will sail from Broadway…okay, New York<\/a>. Norwegian wants to make it New York's ship and when you have a population of more than eight million people to draw from, why not? The next thing you know, NCL will have the Yankees<\/a> and Billy Joel<\/a> on the Breakaway.<\/p>\n Google "Rock of Ages" and "Cruise" and you'll get all kinds of stories about Tom Cruise and his newest movie. In fact, you'll probably first get stories about Mrs. Cruise (Katie Holmes), who gave back her "rock of ages" to her ex-husband to be. That news broke on Thursday.
