Theatre Reaches Its Zenith with Celebrity Cruiselines
With the help of CSSI, Celebrity Cruiselines was able get the show on the road, (or on the sea as the case may be) on their ship the Zenith. The new production, developed by the cruiseline and designed to showcase singers and dancers, involves backdrops, a traveling track system and a platform stage.

Working with Celebrity’s Producer Jim D’Amico, CSSI’s Senior Project Manager Ken Zommer made sure there was nothing but smooth sailing as he supervised the project that was completed in just three weeks.

Tom Ryan designed the multi-themed backdrops that were hung on a custom traveling track system built to allow for manual movement of the pieces. The painted backdrops portray images of The Cotton Club, an American town square, a Vegas-themed collage, and a composite of Broadway and the New York City skyline. The flexible platform stage system was designed and built with the ability to be reconfigured into five different sets. CSSI’s Joel Gordon, Mark Goeke, and Nick Levinsky set sail on the Zenith during installation.
