Inflight entertainment reached latest heights for passengers flying business class on a specific Korean Air flight after a famous group of theater actors decided to jazz through their long-haul flight journey by acting out a scene from their musicals. If not a small a part of a musical, what higher approach to pass time on such a red-eye flight?
Heading home after a world tour
The theater actors were from the long-lasting, slinky, and razzle-dazzle musical often called ‘Chicago,’ which centralized around an ambitious chorus girl named Roxie Hart and a wannabe vaudeville star named Velma Kelly who murders her lover when he tries to finish their relationship. The musical is predicated on a 1926 play of the identical name by a journalist who used the actual criminals and crimes she previously reported in the town,
Since last October, this group has been touring 51 cities across North America before arriving in Seoul, South Korea, in mid-May this yr. This Seoul run marked the musical’s first return to South Korea in roughly six years and was scheduled to run until September third. Once this a part of the world tour was wrapped up, the group was headed back to the US via Korean Air as they readied themselves for an additional round of touring inside North America.
Even though it’s uncertain which flight the actors were on, but for the reason that aircraft type was likely a Boeing 747-8, the one possible Korean Air routes using this widebody in the present schedule are from Incheon International Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport via KE 35, Latest York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport via KE 85, or Los Angeles International Airport via KE 11.
Jazzing up business class
No matter which flight they were on, the long-haul journey still bears boredom for the theatrical actors – as with all passengers, they usually decided to jazz things up for the business class cabin they were flying in with a brief performance. In a now-viral video uploaded by one in all the actors, Garrett James shows a brief clip of a teasing introductory performance from the actor as he hinted at portraying Velma Kelly.
The clip also showed how James likely had some help from his fellow passengers, who used his iPhone’s flashlight as a makeshift highlight for James – indicating how this short clip probably took a number of rounds of humourous practice. Albeit the mini clip only teased that much, it’s assumed that perhaps there was barely more of where that short performance got here from for a minimum of one other couple of minutes.
Because the video has gone viral, many comments have questioned why their flights were never as fun and the way that was the last word flight that everybody desired to be on. Others demanded to see more after complaining that the teasing clip was too short to go away them hanging. At the identical time, several comments identified themselves as flight attendants and expressed their wishes to come across such entertaining passengers on their flights.
Bottom line
Although witnessing performances, nonetheless short, from other passengers may not appeal to everyone, but given how it’s always pretty entertaining in good fun, it does make the atmosphere just a little more vigorous and friendlier. And at the top of the day, having such jazzing passengers is undeniably significantly better than having unruly ones onboard.
