New Show: “Booked” Joins Scarlet Lady’s Entertainment Lineup
Scarlet Lady has debuted Booked: A Lola’s Library Story yesterday, completing the ship’s refreshed entertainment lineup with a new show.
Virgin Voyages has quietly completed the refresh of Scarlet Lady’s entertainment lineup. The final piece of the puzzle is Booked: A Lola’s Library Story, now showing on board Scarlet Lady in previews.
Official Description
Join Lola, Mary, Dewey, dancers and acrobats as they have a series of adventures through forests, deserts, islands and cities of your favorite storybooks.
Welcome to Lola’s Library! Before the spotlight and glamor, cabaret star Lola was just a cruise ship librarian. But when she, bossy bestie Mary, and lovable nerd Dewey open a cursed book, every story on every shelf bursts to life. Now the trio must kick, punch, and dance their way through hip hop chimney sweeps, steamy acrobatic fairy tales, Jersey Shore puppets and even manga. Come see how it all began, because the library is open and quiet hours don’t apply. – Virgin Voyages App
Soft Opening and First Look
The show began soft-open previews on board Scarlet Lady on October 3, 2025 to great reception. Leading the cast is the original Lola, Meggi, returning to the role she helped originate.
Here’s a first look at some of the moments captured from the preview performances.
What Is Booked: A Lola’s Library Story?
Booked! is a brand-new theatrical production debuting on Scarlet Lady in October 2025. It acts as a prequel to Lola’s Library on Resilient Lady but has been created as a standalone experience.
The show is produced by No Ceilings Entertainment, the same creative team behind Lola’s Library and Out of Time. Their productions blend circus, dance, and immersive cabaret-style storytelling into theatrical experiences unique to Virgin Voyages.
A Prequel With Familiar Touches
For those who know Lola’s Library, Booked includes easter eggs and callbacks to the original show in The Manor. But no background knowledge is required, making it approachable for first-time viewers as well as returning fans.
How to See the Show
Booked will take place in the Red Room with first come, first served seating. Guests usually begin queuing about 30 minutes before doors open, and crew members guide everyone once inside. Arriving early is recommended, particularly while the show is new. This show is fully seated.
All New Entertainment on Scarlet Lady
With Booked now in place, Scarlet Lady’s entertainment transition is complete. Persephone appears to have soft launched, Club Caliente debuted in The Manor earlier this week, and the earlier productions have now retired.
Virgin Voyages has not yet announced or commented on these changes on board.
