Virgin Voyages Reveals Brilliant Lady Entertainment
Virgin Voyages’ new entertainment debuts on Brilliant Lady, featuring fresh productions, immersive experiences, and bold performances with all-new shows.
Virgin Voyages is introducing a brand-new lineup of entertainment, debuting exclusively on Brilliant Lady, launching September 5, 2025, in New York. This refreshed collection of shows builds on years of experience, taking inspiration from past productions like Persephone, Duel Reality, Lola’s Library, and Another Rose.
Brilliant Lady will debut seven electrifying, original productions and a variety of new ‘Happenings’ events.
At the heart of this new entertainment lineup is a marquee Red Room show that brings the iconic Virgin Records archives to life, blending music video nostalgia with high-energy performances. Meanwhile, The Manor will host a collection of innovative and immersive performances as well.
These shows mark the next evolution of Virgin Voyages’ entertainment. More details on each production will be revealed soon, but here’s a sneak peek at what’s to come:
