ABOUT THE SHOW:
Anything that CAN go wrong, HAS gone wrong aboard the S.S Amore, a not-so-luxurious honeymoon cruise ship. Captain Giovanni Della Robbia is trying to calm the passengers, with the assistance of cruise director, Gina. It’s TALENT NIGHT about the Amore, and Gina recruits audience members to join in the competition. Just when it looks like the cruise won’t be a total disaster, someone is murdered.
