The show will be brought to life by special guest tenor and 'America’s Got Talent' alumni Brian Justin Crum.

'Rock Opera' was created exclusively for Princess by director and choreographer Danny Teeson, musical arranger Nelson Kole, scenic designer John Lacovelli and costume designer Jackson Lowell.

'"Rock Opera" takes our guests on a musical journey, featuring our eight-piece live orchestra playing iconic rock songs. Our production and costume design team were inspired by one of New York City’s most glamorous evenings of the year, the Met Gala,' said Denise Saviss, VP entertainment experience.

Songs in four languages, including sign

The show features songs in English, Spanish, Latin and sign language.

Crum, of 'America’s Got Talent: The Champions' will join the cast for the inaugural season of Sky Princess.

A native of San Diego, California, he brings the pure vocal tone, broad range and high contrast emotional delivery that found him success in musical theater and on the Billboard charts. He’s performed with several Broadway companies before launching a pop career with credits including 'Wicked,' 'Grease,' 'Next to Normal' and touring companies of 'The Addams Family' and 'We Will Rock You.'

Crum found a broader audience in 2016 as a finalist on NBC’s 'America’s Got Talent,' finishing in fourth place. That same year, he released 'Show Me Love,' which made its way to the top of the Billboard Dance Charts.
