• Rochester Opera House to present The Addams Family Musical, starting 10/13

It's a show that will leave you smiling, singing, and reconnected with the simple joys of life and lessons of kindness that could certainly help today’s tumultuous world. This production takes the 1970s “hippie” style into a more modern background. Filling the massive stage at the Opera House with scaffolding and the shared décor and staging of a concurrently running production, the setting appears to be a stage ready to welcome actors to their first table read of a show. Actors casually saunter on to the stage from all directions being greeted by the director, getting their scripts, and interacting with other actors for the first time. The Rochester Opera House is a 750-seat theater in the city hall of Rochester, a city in Strafford County, New Hampshire, United States.

The Rochester Opera House, located above City Hall at 31 Wakefield Street, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to a mission of “Arts For All”. As his father, Prue makes a wonderful transition from his stoic self to a more tolerant father as he takes on elements of the former rock guitar player he once was. Thanks to the after-dinner game, Full Disclosure, Gall plays some of the best moments of the show as she goes from neglected and unhappy wife to a wild and wacky vixen in the number, “Waiting,” where she ends the song fully prone on the dining room table. For the first time in nearly a quarter century, the Rochester Opera House presents The Sound of Music, opening Friday, July 29th. The show will run with multiple performances until Sunday, August 21st.

Current activities

Comedian Bob Marley (Tuesday, December 27)Bob loves being a comedian. He lives in Maine which is the best state in the world – maybe even the universe. And he’s a glutton for punishment – which means he’s back to ROH again this year. Featured regularly on SiriusXM Radio, he was inducted into the Guinness Book of World’s Records for The Longest Stand Up Comedy Show by an Individual – clocking in at 40 hours of continuous standup! Musical accompaniment is provided by a recorded musical track which is a bit different for live theater.

September Events Fill the Stage at Rochester Opera House

Understanding such complexities was aided considerably by an extensive study finished in June 1985 by Nancy Alberto and Heidi Barrett, students of the Department of Civil Engineering at the nearby University of New Hampshire. Estimates for restoring the opera house and also establishing an endowment fund for maintenance and program scheduling ranged up to $1.2 million. Due to the enormity of the task and the size of the necessary costs, the first effort to restore the opera house only accomplished improvements to meet fire and safety codes, as well as much-needed audience amenities. Comic Hypnotist Frank Santos, Jr. (Saturday, February 18)Frank Santos, Jr. has been mesmerizing audiences for over 20 years with his spectacular display of mind-bending antics that can turn any skeptic into a fan. Under his hypnotic spell, audience members are more than willing to follow every command, from awkward to outrageous in the unpredictable, hilarious, laugh-until-your-sides-hurt R-rated comedy show. Santos is returning to our stage by popular demand for an eighth season.

Review: THE ADDAMS FAMILY-A NEW MUSICAL COMEDY at Rochester Opera House

They perform less like a Broadway musical troupe and more like kids in story time at Bible Class. The cast is consistently strong with loads of theater experience under their belts including some who have previously graced the Rochester Opera House stage. Closing out our September stage lineup is Dirty Deeds, The AC/DC Experience out of Boston, MA. This was my first visit to the Rochester Opera House where I was impressed with the unique design of the performing space and auditorium. (It first opened its doors in 1908.) It is a bit odd having the concession stand and bar within the auditorium, but it seems to work for them. The Sunday matinee audience seemed to sort out drink orders just fine and the smell of buttered popcorn simply added to a wonderfully entertaining experience.

It has the unique architectural feature of a fully moveable floor, perhaps the last of this design in existence. Look out for a fantastic night of evidential and heart-centered messages on September 14th from Spirit with two NH Natives and Internationally renowned mediums, Cindy Kaza and Lauren Rainbow. They will be sharing their unique styles of mediumship with a few audience members. Rochester Opera House is featuring five nights of entertainment on their historic stage, featuring mediums, award-winning Skerryvore hailing from Scotland, to concert tributes to  some iconic bands.

Christian Arnold as Judas is the perfectly cast bad boy decked out in leather and chains more like a biker than apostle. He’s a rock star in the opening “Prepare Ye” and a soft shoe extraordinaire in “All for the Best” performed with Foley. His scenes with Foley are powerful and engaging as he foreshadows his characters eventual betrayal.

For the 17th season, Sole City Dance will present its enchanting version of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale. Featuring the mysterious toymaker Herr Drosselmeyer, Clara, and her beloved Nutcracker Prince, dancing snowflakes, battling mice, & many other fantastic and colorful characters. Freckleface Strawberry The Musical, based on the beloved New York Times best-selling book by celebrated actress, Julianne Moore, is a fun and touching family musical. Over the last 16 years, Skerryvore has brought their performances to audiences across the globe, from their early days in Scottish West Coast halls and bars, to Festival crowds throughout the world. Picking up Scottish music’s ‘Live Act of the Year’ twice on the way – they bring their high-energy performance to Rochester on September 22.

This is a great group of singers and dancers who add fun elements to the show. One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. With its infectious energy, powerful message, and stellar performances, “Godspell” at the Rochester Opera House is a theatrical experience not to be missed.

Audiences members dressed as their character favorites simply added to the festivities. As the story unfolds, the family patriarch, Gomez (Kevin Mahaney), finds himself caught between his wife and sadistic teenage daughter, Wednesday (Michelle Faria). It seems she’s caught in the throes of romance with Lucas (Samuel Tolley) – a sweet beau, as they face the ritual of every courtship, the meeting of the parents with his being strictly suburban and Wednesday’s being anything but. Wednesday also confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother that they plan to marry.

While it works fine, I would suggest a bit of work in balancing the music with the vocals. It gets a bit out of whack especially with individual voices in group numbers. First introduced in the New Yorker magazine back in the 1930s by cartoonist, Charles Addams, the ghoulish Addams family is well known for their graveyard humor which eventually became an iconic TV series and hit movie. With a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, the musical depicts an American family with an affinity for all things macabre. After celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2008, the Rochester Opera House is still in operation today.

In the lead role, Foley, masterfully guides the performance with precisely timed storytelling and melodic tunes in “Save the People” and “Beautiful City” though his rendition of “Alas For You,” was notably strained. He creates a charming and childlike Jesus, nurturing and loving with a whimsical style. The current production of “Godspell” at the Rochester Opera House is like no other you’ve experienced before.

Restored to look like it did over ninety years ago, the opera house offers the visitor a unique viewing experience. Joining Mike on stage will be the brilliant Paul D’Angelo, along with Funnymen Steve Bjork, Kathe Farris & Dan Donahue. So, bring your Funny Valentine & enjoy a great evening of laughs with Mike and his comedy compadres. Mahaney brings his own unique twist to the character of Gomez that is distinctly different from the stereotypical ones.

Leading up to 2010, Chicago hired Carlos de los Cobos as head coach, previously manager of El Salvador.[9] Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Chris Rolfe and Gonzalo Segares all departed. More changes came in the summer transfer window with the trade of Justin Mapp to Philadelphia, the acquisition of Mexican international striker Nery Castillo, and the trade for former Swedish international midfielder Freddie Ljungberg. Defender Gonzalo Segares returned to the Fire, leaving Apollon Limassol after only six months away. Despite these reinforcements, the Fire failed to qualify for the playoffs for only the second time in club history. Brown retired at season's end, followed closely by the departures of Wilman Conde, Ljungberg, and Castillo.

Now, two wins from their remaining two against an Inter Miami CF team that was eliminated from playoff contention tonight would give CLTFC the #8 seed and hosting privileges for the first round playoff match. Many notable players have worn the Fire shirt, including U.S. internationals Chris Armas, Carlos Bocanegra, Frank Klopas, DaMarcus Beasley, Brian McBride, Tony Sanneh, Cory Gibbs, Ante Razov, Josh Wolff, Eric Wynalda and Jon Busch. Some of the club's other notable American professional players include C.J.

Ticketing Sales - Fall Intern

The team's momentum continued, reaching the 2000 MLS Cup final (losing to Kansas City) and winning the 2000 U.S. Internationally experienced players such as Hristo Stoitchkov joined the Fire, while young American talents such as DaMarcus Beasley developed. The Fire quickly became cemented as one of the league's preeminent teams. Founded in 1997 at Navy Pier, on the anniversary of the Great Fire, the Fire immediately tapped into the diverse ethnic makeup of the city. The team brought in Polish players Piotr Nowak, Jerzy Podbrożny, and Roman Kosecki; the Mexican Jorge Campos; and the Czech Luboš Kubík.

Club Tickets

Following a brief search, Millonarios manager Juan Carlos Osorio was named the club's third head coach. On January 17, 2008, former Fire star Frank Klopas was named Technical Director in charge of player personnel, and longtime Fire assistant Denis Hamlett was appointed manager. While the Fire struggled at home in 2008 the team found unusual success on the road, gathering 22 out of a possible 45 away points. Momentum grew with the long-anticipated signing of Chicago native Brian McBride on a free transfer in July 2008. After disposing of the Red Bulls 5–2 in the season's final game, they decisively conquered New England in the first round of the playoffs with a 3–0 victory at home. This was Chicago's first playoff advancement over the Revolution in four consecutive seasons.

As partners from day one, Ally is proud to help enhance the inaugural season experience for fans. All entry to Bank of America events require mobile tickets (PDF tickets will no longer be valid for entry). All users, both PSL holders and single-game ticket buyers, can access and manage their tickets through the official Charlotte FC app. Major League Soccer’s elite youth development platform, MLS NEXT, will encompass over 11,000 players across 113 clubs and six age groups, including 30 professional MLS academies, 5 USL academies and 78 additional elite academies.

D.C. United

In this period new talent emerged, including Jamaican striker Damani Ralph. Still, stagnating performances and the building strength of the Eastern Conference made Chicago's league position ever more tenuous. In 2004, the team missed the league playoffs for the first time in their history. After finding their footing during their inaugural season, New York City FC reeled off three playoff appearances in a row, making the Eastern Conference semi-finals in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The New York City FC roster was quickly built around international stars such as David Villa and Frank Lampard, giving the team credibility and a solid reputation from the very beginning.

The Fire then selected the U.S. men's national team's top assistant, Dave Sarachan, to assume the vacant post. The Fire maintains an extensive development system, consisting of the Chicago Fire Development Academy and the Chicago Fire Juniors youth organization. They also operate the Chicago Fire Foundation, the team's community-based charitable division.

Villa, who before joining New York City FC helped lead Spain to the 2010 FIFA World Cup title, had an immediate and lasting impact on the club. He led the team in scoring in each of his four seasons and won the 2016 Landon Donovan MLS MVP Award before leaving to play in Japan for Vissel Kobe after the 2018 MLS season. Chicago failed to properly clear the ball late in the first half and Swiderski made it pay, scoring from close range to forge a 2-2 tie. The goal was his team-leading seventh of the season, with all seven being scored in Charlotte. Match atmosphere is known for organized displays of stadium-wide support, particularly for matches of prime competitive importance. The matchup between Charlotte and Chicago features some all-time matches, despite the series only being three games so far.

Manager, Player Relations

The team competes in Major League Soccer (MLS) as a member of the league's Eastern Conference, having moved to the conference in 2002. A crucial, dominant home victory over Toronto FC on Wednesday got that needed winning streak underway. One penalty shootout win and one outright win put them through to the knockout stage as group winners, where CLTFC won two straight road games before falling to eventual champions Inter Miami in the quarterfinals.

Charlotte FC visited Chicago needing another win to continue to control their playoff destiny down the stretch. An Ashley Westwood volley and Karol Swiderski penalty kick did the job on the road, securing a 2-0 victory and three more points for The Crown. Names and numbers (if applicable) are prominently displayed inside SeatGeek Stadium. Chicago qualified for the league final while also capturing the Supporters' Shield and 2003 U.S. The team returned to Chicago and the renovated Soldier Field midway through the 2003 season. Chicago Fire Football Club is an American professional soccer club based in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

The club president is Ishwara Glassman-Chrein; Georg Heitz was appointed sporting director in December 2019; The Fire were originally based at Soldier Field from 1997 to 2006. From 2006 to 2019, the club played at SeatGeek Stadium, a stadium originally built for the club, at 71st and Harlem Avenue in Bridgeview. In 2019, with the change of ownership to Joe Mansueto, the Fire returned to Soldier Field for the 2020 MLS season. NYCFC play at Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009 (replacing the original stadium that operated from 1923 to 2008). Yankee Stadium seats 28,743 for most MLS games and can seat up to 47,309 for playoff games and other important matches. The official supporters group, The Third Rail, occupies Sections 236 and 237 of Yankee Stadium and was founded right after the franchise was established.

There was time for one more opportunity deep in second-half stoppage time, but this time center back Efrain Morales headed Almada's service wide of the left post. Then he picked out Giakoumakis' replacement, Daniel Rios, on the back post in the 85th minute, but Brady reacted superbly to deny Rios' close-range header. Then in the 31st minute, Brady dived to clearly push Saba Lobjanidze's dangerous header wide of the far post, but the play wasn't officially ruled a save.

Charlotte FC moved to 13th but are only two points out from 9th with a game in hand. After an even and relatively uneventful match for the first 75 minutes, the visitors had the best late chances. But they remained winless in four away games despite outshooting Chicago 16-8 overall and 5-0 in efforts on target. In order to reserve your parking with operators before game day, click here.

Shaqiri, a full Swiss international, has had a quiet season by his high standards, but is rounding into form as the season winds down. The creative burden will likely be taken up by him (five assists) and young Homegrown Brian Gutierrez (nine assists), so those are the two to watch in the half spaces for Charlotte’s defensive midfielders. On the attacking end, Chicago have gotten the job done by committee so far. Haile-Selassie is their leading goal scorer with just six on the season, followed closely by veteran forward Kei Kamara and DP Shaqiri with five each. The result remains the only time Charlotte FC have entered the 75th minute trailing and won the match.

On September 6, 2007, Andell Holdings, a Los Angeles-based private investment firm controlled by chairman Andrew Hauptman, acquired AEG's interest in the Chicago Fire Soccer Club. Reports estimated the purchase price to be upwards of $35 million.[6] The team has not won a major trophy since Hauptman bought the team. Then, earlier this year, CLTFC got another epic come-from-behind result. Down 1-0 at Bank of America Stadium, rookie Brandon Cambridge entered the match in the 59th minute looking to make an impact… and what an impact it was.

Atlanta (3-3-3, 12 points) welcomed leading scorer Giorgos Giakoumakis back for his first start since a 3-0 home win over the Fire on March 31, after missing two games to a knee injury. The Atrium Health Fit Zone is an outdoor area located on the 100 level concourse by section 138 and features a miniature artificial turf pitch, where kids can play. Our youngest fans can practice their kicking and passing skills, and other fun interactive activities. Tensions burned throughout the match to the tune of nine yellow cards in total for both teams. Cambridge tapped in a goal to the left side of the net in the 81st minute to give Charlotte the crucial advantage.

We left Pittsburgh at 630am and did not arrive in Mexico until late dinner time. The plane was old and you are required to connect your own device to their Wi-Fi rather than have entertainment options in the back of the seat in front of you. The Wi-Fi went out during the flight and there was only one plug for the devices every two seats. Three out of five surrounding my family did not work. The seats and spaces under them were so small I could not fit my backpack, which I’ve always brought on flights and fit before no problem. The crew were unpleasant and patronizing.

FAQs for booking flights from Amsterdam to Charlotte

Great flight attendants, good food (in business class, at least), very comfortable. Touchscreen and remote wasn’t great. A flight from Amsterdam to London can take anywhere from one to one-and-a-half hours, depending on which airport you’re flying into. The best pricing can be found in the month of February.

The route takes you down through Belgium and into France. Keep the language in Dutch and just use Google Translate, or you won’t be able to include your rail ticket inside the Netherlands. Keep in mind that if you’re travelling to one of these, you’ll have to pay for your travel into the city centre of London. The Stansted Express, for example, which connects Stansted Airport to Liverpool Street Station, can easily add another £20 to your total travel cost. You can occasionally snatch up a ticket from Amsterdam to one of London’s outer airports for less than €40. The Eurostar runs directly from Amsterdam to London, taking only four hours and also stops in Rotterdam and Brussels.

Prices to Amsterdam from Charlotte average $960. You can even find prices in February for less than $960, as users have found deals to Amsterdam from as low as $565. The month of June appears to be one of the more expensive times to travel to Amsterdam from Charlotte.

It took about half an hour to locate a staff member to open up the locked room where it was being kept. We were disappointed when we had to check our carry on due to the plane being full. KLM hadn’t notified us and we had valuable items in the carry on but they still made us check it.

The flight was again delayed for more then 2 hours with some lousy explanation regarding the reason of the delay. Although the flight was delayed for more than 2 hours, no refreshments were offered (according to EU regulations). Last 4 flights on KLM - always at least 2 hrs late. So be prepared that you cannot plan anything with KLM. Every ticket includes two suitcases, and one piece of hand luggage, so you won’t get stung by those airline luggage fees or try and cram your bag into an oddly-shaped container.

When to book flights from Amsterdam to Charlotte

Flying from Charlotte to Amsterdam in June is currently the most expensive (average of $1,261). There are several factors that can impact the price of a flight, so comparing airlines, departure airports and flight times can provide users with more options. I had a wonderful experience flying with delta.

Last minute flights from Charlotte to the Netherlands

If you’re flexible enough to do this you can expect to save up to 15% on your trip compared to booking a flight in the afternoon. The crew seemed like they were cranky. I had one guy get mad at me for passing in between the storage area to get to the other toilet.

It can be cheaper if you have some heavy luggage to bring, you have the option of bringing a bike, and you can catch up on all those podcasts you swore you’d listen to. Also, some of the buses do make it in just 10.5 hours. You’ll have a few opportunities throughout the bus journey to hop off, use the bathroom, and grab some food. Regardless, 10 hours minimum on a bus is a long time, so this journey is only for the brave-hearted. Obviously, in the summer, you can expect that price to jump up way into the hundreds and tickets to sell out quickly, so try to book early.

Some of the food was great and some was mediocre. The trip from Amsterdam to London by car will take you around 6.5 hours, depending on traffic and waiting time for the ferry. You don’t actually drive through the Channel Tunnel. Instead, you load your car onto a specially designed train called the Eurotunnel Shuttle and sit in your car while the train shuttles you underwater to the UK. This part of the trip is only 35 minutes. In total, expect the journey to take a minimum of 12 hours when taking into account waiting times.

Price alerts on flights to Amsterdam from Charlotte are quick and easy to set up on momondo. Simply perform a search and select the price alert feature. Probably not AA fault but caused a 1 hour delay. I would fly again the whole experience was great. The only feed back I can give that they don't do that American Airlines does is the crew there is more humorous with boarding and thank their passengers.

Passenger luggage had to be removed and there was a technical issue with the stairs not detaching from the aircraft. The pilot managed to compensate and we arrived only 15 minutes later. The luggage at Dubai airport was very slow. We were directed to go to a gate across from our gate. The plane wasn't there yet so we had to wait for it to arrive, then deplane everyone and then wait again for the plane to be cleaned. After 45 minuites we were allowed on the plane.

None of these people were reprimanded but the steward, some bald guy, was extremely friendly with them and did not even try to instruct them to do anything until it was time to land. I resisted the urge to really argue with them because I would have obviously been seen as the aggressor (I have no idea why). I hardly said anything on this flight except "more wine please" and "sorry" if I bumped into someone accidentally. Overall, it was an annoying flight and I had to resist the urge to yell at the steward and the people he was overly friendly with. The happiest moment of this flight was leaving it.

By finding flights from multiple airlines and providers at completely no cost, Cheapflights helps millions of users like you annually find the best flights to Amsterdam from Charlotte. Bad experience with the staff boarding the gate. I couldn’t board with my carry on, personal item and a funny bag.

Texas’ ban was challenged last year by The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, which argued in a lawsuit that the policy was impeding academic freedom because it extended to public universities. The U.S. government has not publicly provided evidence that shows TikTok shared U.S. user data with the Chinese government or tinkered with the company’s popular algorithm, which influences what Americans see. California Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat, voted against the legislation. He said he thinks there could have been less restrictive ways to go after the company that wouldn’t result in a total ban or threaten free speech.

The new bill was passed , with strong support from a majority of both Republicans and Democrats. It’s part of a larger package that includes foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and was likely included as a way for House Speaker Mike Johnson to attract more conservative support. Efforts to ban TikTok go back to the Trump administration, but the issue has been revived in recent months. The House already passed a similar bill in March — a bill that the Senate showed little interest in taking up. This new version expands the window for ByteDance to sell TikTok to nine months (compared to six months in the previous bill) and gives the president the ability to grant a single, additional 90-day extension. The bill’s quick path through Congress is extraordinary because it targets one company and because Congress has taken a hands-off approach to tech regulation for decades.

US House passes revised bill to ban TikTok or force sale

The Senate could take up the package this coming week, and President Joe Biden has said he supports the bill and will sign it. If that happens, TikTok is expected to challenge the bill in court. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill this afternoon that would require TikTok owner ByteDance to sell the popular social media app or see it banned in the United States. Nadya Okamoto, a content creator who has roughly 4 million followers on TikTok, said she has been having conversations with other creators who are experiencing “so much anger and anxiety” about the bill and how it’s going to impact their lives. The 26-year-old, whose company “August” sells menstrual products and is known for her advocacy around destigmatizing menstrual periods, makes most of her income from TikTok. Dozens of states and the federal government have put in place TikTok bans on government devices.

The company has good reason to think a legal challenge could be successful, having seen some success in previous legal fights over its operations in the U.S.. In November, a federal judge blocked a Montana law that would ban TikTok use across the state after the company and five content creators who use the platform sued. TikTok has lobbied hard against the legislation, pushing the app’s 170 million U.S. users — many of whom are young — to call Congress and voice opposition. But the ferocity of the pushback angered lawmakers on Capitol Hill, where there is broad concern about Chinese threats to the U.S. and where few members use the platform themselves.

His administration brokered a deal that would have had U.S. corporations Oracle and Walmart take a large stake in TikTok. The sale never went through for a number of reasons; one was China, which imposed stricter export controls on its technology providers. Members of both parties, along with intelligence officials, have worried that Chinese authorities could force ByteDance to hand over American user data or direct the company to suppress or boost TikTok content favorable to its interests. TikTok has denied assertions that it could be used as a tool of the Chinese government and has said it has not shared U.S. user data with Chinese authorities. The company has indicated that it would likely go to court to try and block the law if it passes, arguing it would deprive the app’s millions of users of their First Amendment rights.

Fortunately, the film's tight construction and prolific action scenes carry it, and Blunt and Johnson do the irresistible force/immovable object dynamic well enough, swapping energies as the story demands. A Spanish conquistador who once sought the Tree's power to save his ill daughter, only to be cursed with immortality for his cruelty towards the tree's guardians. Temporarily freed by German explorers, he sets out to take revenge on his adopted brother, Francisco, who sided against him to defend a native tribe. Joachim locates the cursed conquistadors, whose bodies turned to stone due to them traveling too far from the river, and have been infested over time by tree roots, deadly snakes, poisonous frogs, and stinging insects.

With the release date right around the corner, this is likely the final glimpse of the project before game time, so go ahead and fire it up. Dwayne Johnson is indeed one of my favourite actors these days and he makes a good performance as the somewhat crazy riverboat captain which is (a lot) more than he seems. He helped search for the Tears to save Aguirre's daughter but sided with the tribe against Aguirre's brutality. After years of endless fighting, Frank trapped his vengeful comrades in the cave away from the river, petrifying them.

Failing to find the Tree, Frank remained tied to the river, becoming a tour guide and building a village. Partially revived, Aguirre agrees to bring Joachim the arrowhead in exchange for lifting the curse when he finds the flowers. Joachim diverts the river to flood the cave and Aguirre and his conquistadors are reanimated while fused with rainforest elements. The conquistadors attack the tribe and Aguirre stabs Frank through the heart. Lily flees with the artifact, chased by conquistadors, but the jungle vines pull them back to the river, preventing her capture. We rank every one of the British director's movies by Metascore, from his debut Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels to his brand new film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

Sebastian Blunt

I am quite happy that, despite it being a new Disney production, there’s really not much in terms of woke bullshit preaching in there. In theaters and on Disney+ for a premium charge starting Friday, July 30th.

The film will also feature "Breaking Bad" and "Fargo" standout Jesse Plemons in a villainous role, with British comedian Jack Whitehall as the brother of Blunt's character. Édgar Ramírez plays Aguirre, a mercenary leading another expedition to the Tree of Life in direct competition with the Johnson-Blunt cruise, and "Billions" star Paul Giamatti is involved in a role originally described as a "crusty harbormaster" (via Deadline). It's as star-studded as you might expect from the franchise Disney hopes will become the successor to "Pirates of the Caribbean." At times the leads seem more like a brother and sister needling each other than a will they/won’t they bantering couple. Lack of sexual heat is often (strangely) a bug, or perhaps a feature, in films starring Johnson, the four-quadrant blockbuster king (though not on Johnson’s HBO drama "Ballers"). Blunt keeps putting out more than enough flinty looks of interest to sell a romance, but her leading man rarely reflects it back at her.

MacGregor is captured by Joachim and forced to reveal the tree's location. Joachim breaks his arrangement with the cursed brigands, in order to keep the petals for himself, but Frank, Lily, the Germans, and the Spaniards all converge on the tree. While solving the puzzle, the arrowhead is discovered to be a heart piece having a gem, which after placing blooms the tree under the blood moon.

Critic Reviews

Joachim frees them by diverting the river, and offers to help them break the curse if they help him retrieve the arrowhead. "Jungle Cruise" is set to be a rollicking action-comedy vehicle in the vein of past Disney hits like "Pirates of the Caribbean," which was also based on one of the House of Mouse's most popular theme park attractions. As with Johnny Depp and the first "Pirates" film, one of the keys to the project's success is picking a star to frame the film around, and then filling out a compelling ensemble. In May 2021, Disney announced that the film would be released simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access.

The band members recorded their parts from their individual studios, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As Frank, Lily and MacGregor continue down the river, they grow closer. MacGregor tells Frank he was nearly disowned by his family due to being gay, but Lily stood by him. Breaking into Frank's cabin, Lily finds photos and drawings of inventions such as the automobile, but also discovers drawings of the arrowhead and research on the Tears of the Moon.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

Many social media users worried that Disney was simply leaning back on tired gay stereotypes for its first major gay character, while others were concerned about who would play the role. That Whitehall, a straight man, would be playing such a potentially groundbreaking role for Disney instead of a gay actor was also a point of contention. A second full-length trailer that came down the pike in 2021 is absolutely action-packed. Though it keeps the focus on Blunt and Johnson, often in pursuit of or being pursued by some nasty business, supernatural or otherwise, it does provide a few more glimpses of the actual cruise in question. There's even some Jesse Plemons action in what looks to be a German U-Boat.

Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the film stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Édgar Ramírez, Jack Whitehall, Jesse Plemons, and Paul Giamatti. It tells the alternate history of the captain of a small riverboat who takes a scientist and her brother through a jungle in search of the Tree of Life while competing against a German expedition, and cursed conquistadors. Though "Jungle Cruise" is being positioned by Disney as a crowd-pleasing action adventure flick, the film began generating controversy well before its release. In August of 2018, Jack Whitehall announced via Instagram that he'd been cast in the film, and it was later revealed that he'd be playing McGregor Houghton, the brother of Emily Blunt's character, Lily.

As punishment, the conquistadors became cursed by the village chief to never die and never be able to leave sight of the river or the jungle would take them back to it for all eternity. In the case of "Jungle Cruise," the star role will be filled by not one but two stars with experience in both action and comedy. The film's leading man is Dwayne Johnson, who began circling the movie as far back as 2015, and finally hopped aboard in 2017. Since "Pirates," however, we've seen the theme park-to-blockbuster approach fail with projects like "The Haunted Mansion" and "Tomorrowland," but the House of Mouse seems determined to give the formula the old college try (at least) once more.

Caught in the act by Lily, Frank pretends to be Nilo and claims the Tears of the Moon is a myth and that she could not withstand the dangerous jungle; he then backtracks after noticing Lily possesses the arrowhead. Frank's deception is revealed when the real Nilo shows up, but Lily hires Frank anyway after he underbids Nilo and bravely fights a jaguar. The report quickly generated controversy, not because Disney would feature an openly gay character in the film, but because of how the character would reportedly be portrayed.

All of the home media releases include 16 minutes of 11 deleted scenes and 6 bonus featurettes. He is also a business rival and confiscates Frank's boat engine when Frank is unable to repay him his loan. He confesses to Frank that Lily stood by him when his family nearly disowned him after he refused to marry, as his interest lies "elsewhere".

In Frank's cabin, Lily finds his research on the Tears of the Moon, but Frank insists he stopped searching long ago. They are captured by cannibals that are actually the Puka Michuna tribe who work for Frank as part of his contrived jungle cruise adventure. Tribal chief Trader Sam translates the symbols on the arrowhead, revealing the Tree's location and that it only blooms under a blood moon. There was some backlash over the report, with a few expressing outrage over a straight actor being cast as a "camp" gay character. While Johnson and Blunt are the key leads to the film, they're not the only stars attached.
