Thursday afternoon the complete cast of the highly-anticipated dinner show, D’Licious, arrived at Aruba’s Queen Beatrix International Airport on the Martinair flight. Some 15 international cast members and their creative team, including hair and make-up artists, choreographers, show director, musical director, and stylists also arrived on the island in preparation for the opening of D’Licious that will take place at the island’s premier dinner show venue, Zissles, at Paseo Herencia in Palm Beach.
Among the cast members are Jasper Taconis and Gitty Pregers, well known in Europe for their roles in the musicals Chicago and The Lion King, who will be joined onstage by a group of extremely talented singers and dancers.
Production of D’Licious took flight earlier this year, with auditions to secure a veteran cast of singers and dancers from all over Europe. The chosen few who made the cut begin work immediately the day after their arrival on the island, rehearsing July 16th through July 28th with the creative team, including Roy Julen, head choreographer of So you Think you can Dance in the Netherlands.
D’Licious, the debut production at Zissles, tells the story of hopes and dreams—from wanting to be a superstar and walk the red carpet, to the fantasy of being a secret agent. Audiences will be able to relate to the overall theme told throughout the show—that life is simply too short not to follow your heart and chase your dreams.
The enigmatic and vibrant production will feature well-known hits and classics from different musical eras that have been uniquely arranged for the show, as well as an original opening song aptly called D’Licious. Sizzling costumes—with an emphasis on the sexy burlesque theme—combined with dramatic lighting and magical graphics will deliver a night of dynamic entertainment unmatched anywhere on the island.
The first show can be seen on Friday the 30th of July, and will run six nights a week (Sunday through Friday). Tickets are available at www.zissles.com.
