‘Dream Park’ to Be a Night on a Magical Midway

Stage mock-ups for ‘Dream Park’ illustrate the whimsical midway with rollercoaster backdrop (above), circus wagon (below left) and carousel that descends from the ceiling.

The new show under development for Eurodam has the working title of “Dream Park.” According to Blog Board member Bill Prince, director of entertainment for Holland America Line, the show depicts a “night on an abstract, whimsical midway.”

ENB caught up with Prince recently for an update about what guests on Eurodam can expect from the after-dinner entertainment. He said the show, the third of five to be performed on the newbuild, features hit songs from the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.

“In the opening, everybody arrives on a Ferris wheel,” Prince told us. “It’s going to have everything you’d expect on a classic fair midway. There’s a Tunnel of Love, a shooting gallery, a haunted house, a really cool number in a hall of mirrors, and for the finale, a carousel drops down from the ceiling with showgirls as horses.”

The show currently is being blocked and rehearsed in Los Angeles. It is slated to debut on Zuiderdam six weeks before Eurodam’s July 2008 introduction.
