Transcript

00:00Hey there, I'm Andy Summers from the XTU Morning Crew and obviously onboard the

00:05Disney Dream and this is Cassandra. She's one of the performers that are in the

00:09amazing shows that are here onboard the Disney Dream. You know, Disco Cruise Lines

00:14I feel like has the best shows of anyone, right, as far as cruising? It really does.

00:18The technology and the creative teams that they bring onboard to creative shows is bigger and better than any other ship I think.

00:26So you're from the United States, where? I am. I'm based out of New York City.

00:30Okay, alright, so I mean you've been acting for a long time I would imagine.

00:33Sure, yeah. Did you ever imagine that you would be on a cruise ship doing what you do?

00:37You know what, I never imagined on a cruise ship. The dream is always Broadway, you know, or L.A.

00:43But being here, it's a dream and you get to be all these incredible characters that you grew up watching.

00:50And it really is Broadway style shows. I mean these aren't like just little productions.

00:55I mean, like you mentioned, Beauty and the Beast is, I mean, it's mind-blowing when you realize that you're just on this small stage

01:02and all these amazing things are happening around you. The other unique thing I feel like if you were still in New York and on Broadway,

01:09you would be focusing on one show. Whereas when you're on the cruise ship, you're doing several shows.

01:14So each night is something new. Correct!

01:16Yeah, every night it's a different show. You know, one night we'll do the Golden Mickeys and the next night we'll do Believe

01:21and then Beauty and the Beast and then we'll have our deck shows for Pirate Night.

01:25It's very, very fun and it's very exciting to play more than one character.

01:28And then it's fun like for us because then we get to pick people out like,

01:32oh yeah, I saw her last night. She was up on stage or whatever. It's pretty fun.

01:37Oh, good. I'm glad that you're enjoying yourself.

01:39Yeah, it definitely has been great. But like I said, I mean, nobody does it better than Disney.

01:44So if you're, my kids love theater now because of coming on Disney cruises, which is really neat.

01:49Yeah, so thank you for that.

01:50Of course, it's a wonderful opportunity to introduce the little Once to Light theater.

01:54Yeah, and if you want to check it out, I mean, we are giving away a free Disney cruise.

01:59So you better be listening 9, 2, and 5 every day this week for your chance to win.
