Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy Cruise update: looking for a male roommate!
UPDATE: We need to find a male roommate for someone on our upcoming Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald cruise!
If you are a guy, and would be traveling by yourself but would like to share a room, please call Hallie immediately at 212-874-1670 or email her at highctravel@yahoo.com.
Again, here are the details of our Valentines Week 2009 Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy cruise.
This cruise is leaving from Miami and is a 7-day Western Caribbean trip. Featured events include screenings of their greatest movie hits “Naughty Marietta” (1935), “Rose Marie” (1936) and “Maytime” (1937), with a special sing-along screening for one film. Guest lecturer is Sharon Rich, author of the best selling book Sweethearts: The Timeless Love Affair On-Screen and Off Between Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. International opera singers Theodore Lambrinos and Hallie Neill will star in a live performance of “A Scandalous Affair,” the musical inspired by Rich’s book. Other scheduled guest speakers worked with or knew MacDonald or Eddy, including author K.T. Ernshaw, one of Eddy’s longtime girlfriends. Health permitting, she has agreed to get “up close and personal” about Eddy, MacDonald, and separating fact from fiction regarding their personal lives. You can read more about Ms. Ernshaw here. D.C. impresario Darryl Winston will host a talent night for all singers, with pianist Raymond Hughes (Metropolitan Opera) accompanying. It’s a week filled with nostalgia, fabulous music, fabulous films, classic movie history and the inside skinny about one of Hollywood’s greatest cover-ups! “No matter where I’ve lectured, from London to Toronto to Los Angeles or AFI East Coast, people always ask about the celebrity gossip,” says Sharon Rich. “The most commonly asked question is: If MacDonald and Eddy were so much in love, why didn’t they marry each other?”
