The shows on the Magic were the same shows we saw on the Valor in December of 2021 . They need to update the shows more often!

Current playlist production on Magic is horrible. I normally love all the shows but after 2 of their shows i gave up. My granddaughter high school plays sound better than these people did. I hope freedom will have better shows in june

Glad you enjoyed it. The main shows are relatively expensive to produce and get performers trained. Since the average cruiser only cruises once every 2 to 3 years, only frequent cruisers will notice the shows are repeats.
