The LGBTQ+ cruise ship that Patti LuPone is performing on has been blocked from entering Egypt after being banned from entering Turkey.
CNN confirmed Friday that Egyptian authorities did not allow Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady to enter its waters. Rich Campbell, the president and CEO of Atlantis Events, told the outlet, "We had full approval and they denied us clearance at the 11th hour."

THIS is what they are blocking....

Reminds me of the NYC garbage barge in the eighties. NYC landfills were full and North Carolina backed away from a deal to take in some of their garbage while the barge was headed there. The barge kept trying to land at ports along the East Coast and the states chased it away. They were floating off the Florida when Cuba threatened to fire on it if it came near. lol
From everywhere.
Big time.
Yep.
Yup.
“Denied entry to Turkey simply because of who is on board.”
A lie. It was specifically for the way they were acting. I mean in town among humans in a parade they go wildly beyond the pale. Imagine what they’d get up to on such a ship as this.
As usual.
Patti must be hard-up for gigs to take this one. Or maybe she just wanted a free cruise of the Eastern Med.
at one point she was Andrew Lloyd Webber's muse and was married to him. Originated the role of Evita on Broadway.
Egypt clarified a big misunderstanding among the gay cruisers by explaining that the site was the Great Sphinx and not the Great Sphincter, crushing their hopes.
“The nerve of that country, not bowing down to me.”
I remember when cruise ship passengers were concerned about the spread of coronavirus. I can foresee other kinds of contagion on that ship.
Fire #1 and #2 torpedoes!
They should pull in to the port and dock anyway, just to see what5 happens.
Given her lifelong activities in theatre and her championing of LGBTQ+ issues, I suspect she falls into the well known category of "Fag-Hag". An old female actor who hangs out with and entertains gay men because.... just because.
Iran has extended a hand of friendship.
“I am furious, but I am sailing, as the ship will make other ports of call. I am ready to perform for all the wonderful men on this Atlantis cruise, who deserve so much better than this.”
“We’ll sail to manly ports: Key West...Mykonos...San Francisco!”
— Captain Ned, the SS Raging Queen
Captain Ned: Is this how men act on a man’s ship? Where is your manliness? Fighting on deck is a serious breach on my articles of strict discipline! I’m afraid the guilty party is in for a very severe punishment!
Sailor #1: Captain.. I did indeed take Mr. Spunk’s spot. I’m ready to accept my punishment..
First Mate Spunk: Captain! I threw the first blow. If anyone is to be punished, let it be me. I ask only that whatever you do, please don’t put me in a tight-fitting Lassie costume and make me eat from a monogrammed dog dish.
Sailor #2: [ entering ] Captain, I encouraged this fight – punish me! Make me wear nipple-pinching clothespins, sir!
Sailor #3: [ entering ] Me, Captain! Punish me!
Captain Ned: Stop! I’ve heard enough! Your manly admission of guilt is most manful. However, as your Captain, it is I who must bear the full masculine responsibility! And therefore, I will be punished. Spunk! Take me alone! I want a boiling oil rub..
