With Brilliant Ladies launch just a few
0:02
days away in New York City, I thought
0:04
I'd jump on here and show you some of
0:05
the entertainment highlights that we've
0:07
been seeing as we're lucky enough to be
0:09
on board the friends and family voyage
0:11
that set off from Portsmouth just about
0:13
a week ago. I'm David from VV Insider
0:15
and I'm going to show you Out of Time,
0:16
Up with a Twist, Murder in the Manor,
0:19
Duets, and finally D.Va Goes West. So,
0:22
let's jump right in. V Insider is the
0:24
number one resource for the latest
0:26
Virgin Voyages info, guides, and news.

0:48
So, first up, I want to talk about Out
0:50
of Time. Out of Time takes place in the
0:52
Red Room and actually is the only
0:54
headline show that's brand new on
0:56
Brilliant Lady right now. Out of Time is
0:58
a comedy musical caper which tells the
1:01
story of Dr. Victoria Vortex as she
1:04
races to fix her out of control time
1:07
machine. This is a really high energy
1:09
show with some really fun pop and dance
1:11
music, great choreography, illusions and
1:14
costumes as Dr. Victoria Vortex makes
1:16
her way through the eras to try and find
1:19
her way back home to her laboratory.
1:59
Don't you trust anybody? Sweet,
2:01
wonderful people are not your
2:04
Instead of an argument, you hate women.
2:08
Whatever. I'm an ally.
2:30
If we ever get near us,
2:50
The other red room show that was being
2:52
prepared for Brilliant Lady's launch is
2:54
called Red Hot, and it's planned to tell
2:56
the story of Virgin Records 50-year
2:58
history. Now, as Virgin Voyages are
3:01
trying to adapt to Sailor Feedback, they
3:03
felt that this show wasn't quite ready
3:05
yet, so they're going to go back into
3:06
rehearsals and have Red Hot as a brand
3:09
new show for when she starts her Miami
3:11
Mermaiden instead. So, we'll look
3:13
forward to seeing that when the time is
3:14
right. Moving into the mana, the first
3:17
show I want to talk about is one of my
3:19
absolute favorite and it's called Up
3:21
with a Twist. Up with a Twist is a
3:22
supper club experience which turns the
3:25
Mana into Lady Valentina's Emporium of
3:28
Excess. So, this is a ticketed event
3:30
that costs $50 per sailor, but included
3:33
in the cost of that are complimentary
3:35
cocktails and a really fantastic variety
3:38
show from an absolutely stellar cast.
3:40
So, as this show begins, you're welcomed
3:42
into Lady Valentina's Emporium of
3:44
Excess, and you're invited to get to
3:46
know the cast and characters as you make
3:49
your way around the bar. This is where
3:51
you'll first meet the cast of Lady
3:53
Valentina's Emporium of Excess. And
3:55
there are some personal interactive
3:57
experiences with those cast members. I
4:00
encourage you, if you're going to Up
4:01
with a Twist, to go in and make
4:03
conversations with the cast and
4:04
characters, cuz you might have some fun
4:06
surprises if you do. I'm not going to
4:08
give away all the secrets here yet, but
4:10
do make sure that you interact with
4:12
those characters before the show starts.
4:14
The show is a seated dinner show served
4:16
cabaret style. There are two separate
4:18
menus and a vegan menu. If you do want
4:21
to get a quick glimpse of what those
4:22
menus look like, head over to
4:24
vvincider.com where you can find all the
4:26
information on what's served up with a
4:28
twist, including what cocktails will be
4:30
brought to your table during dinner as
4:32
well. The show itself follows the
4:34
journey of Lady Valentina as she tries
4:36
to find a successor to run the Emporium
4:39
of Excess when she leaves. And in order
4:41
to do this, each of the cast are invited
4:43
to perform. And there is a voting
4:45
element where you, as a guest of the
4:47
emporium, can choose who you want to see
4:49
as Lady Valentina's successor. So
4:52
towards the end of the show, you'll be
4:54
asked to choose your favorite by
4:56
selecting a colored button that's on the
4:58
lamp in front of you on the table. This
5:00
is a really fun interactive element of
5:01
the show and it does mean the endings do
5:04
change depending on who the audience
5:06
prefers. The variety acts include some
5:08
aerialists, fantastic vocals and dancing
5:11
and also some really unexpected and
5:13
really funny variety moments as well.
5:15
This is personally one of my favorite
5:16
shows on all the Virgin Voyages fleet.
5:18
So, it's well worth going along if you
5:20
find yourself on Brilliant Lady over the
5:48
set this place on fire.
7:16
The next show I want to mention is
7:18
Murder in the Manor. This show is a
7:20
really fun and unexpected 1980s spin on
7:23
a classic who done it story. We follow
7:25
the sister of Sheena, who is a famous
7:28
musician who mysteriously died one
7:30
night, leading a cast of characters no
7:32
choice but to return to her manner to
7:35
try and piece together the puzzles to
7:37
see if there was any wrongdoing and who
7:39
was responsible. The many characters of
7:41
Murder in the Mana have all their own
7:42
personalities and skills. So, just like
7:45
Up with a Twist, you're going to see a
7:47
huge variety of performances in Murder
7:49
in the Mana. But because this is not a
7:51
supper club style show, there's no
7:53
entrance fee to enter. Just make sure
7:55
you arrive early if you want a good
8:01
To Sheena, I just find out on
8:02
Entertainment Tonight.
8:05
Gina Wilson, famous rock singer, found
8:07
electrocuted in the pool of her hot dam.
8:09
That's a huge mansion.
8:31
No matter where you bring home
9:03
The next show I want to talk about is a
9:05
little bit more of a relaxed experience
9:07
and it's a show called Duets. Duets is a
9:10
live music jazz show that is launching
9:12
on Brilliant Lady. This is where the
9:14
lead vocalists from Up with a Twist
9:16
really have their time to shine. The
9:18
live jazz band from Up with a Twist
9:20
joins them on stage in an exploration of
9:23
iconic duet hits set in a really nice
9:26
jazz tone. If you're a fan of live music
9:29
and great vocals, this is the show for
9:32
you. It is certainly a lot more laidback
9:34
than those other shows that are in the
9:36
Mana, but we had an absolutely fantastic
9:38
time at Juet and I really encourage you
10:31
To another world and we belong each
10:46
And the final brand new addition to the
10:48
Brilliant Lady main event lineup is the
10:51
Diva Goes West. This is where the Diva,
10:54
the resident drag queen on board the
10:56
Virgin Voyagers fleet, transports the
10:58
mana and the audience to the Wild West
11:01
to not only explore some fantastic and
11:03
really silly country music, but also
11:06
some variety acts and a small amount of
11:08
audience participation as well, which is
11:10
really fun and played for laughs. This
11:12
is a really, really funny show. And the
11:14
current diva on board, Brilliant Lady at
11:16
the moment, Dixie Crystals, does an
11:18
absolutely stellar job of bringing this
11:20
show to life. We had an absolutely
11:23
incredible time at D.A. Goes West and
11:25
can't wait to see it again.
11:53
Hey, I'm a friend. That's what he said
12:09
We're looking forward to seeing what
12:11
else Brilliant Lady has to offer in
12:13
terms of entertainment, including some
12:15
brand new club nights and some brand new
12:17
happenings events as well. So, we're
