Following the triumphant launch of a new 515-seat theatre on board the QE2 last month, things are about to get hotter still for theatre lovers in the UAE.
West End sensations the Jersey Quartet will be bringing the best of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons on board the QE2 for a one-off show on December 14.
You can expect renditions of all the big hits, including Can't Take My Eyes Off of You, Sherry and Oh, What a Night.
Tickets for the show, which will take place in the Grand Lounge of the QE2, cost Dh495, which includes drinks and dinner. For an extra Dh200 per person (based on two people sharing), you can also upgrade your ticket and stay the night on board this historic ship.
This will be the debut show put on by Theatre by QE2 and it ushers in a new programme of theatre for all ages at the venue.
Maxine English of Outside the Box Events, the company bringing the show to the QE2, said: "After the huge success of our launch in October, I am thrilled to announce our first official show for Theatre by QE2.
“These four men are bringing the ultimate West End act to our city and music lovers can expect absolutely amazing harmonies with flawless, choreography, and experience the ultimate musical experience.”
The Jersey Quartet will perform in the Grand Lounge on board the QE2 on December 14, from 8-11pm
