The show will go on… and on!
The West End production of Titanique has extended its stay in London!
Combining the music of Céline Dion with the blockbuster film Titanic, the West End premiere officially opened at the Criterion Theatre earlier this year. It was described as “a riotous voyage” by our critic, and has gone on to be nominated for three Olivier Awards: Best New Entertainment Comedy or Play, and Performer nominations for Lauren Drew and Layton Williams.
Featuring a raft of Dion’s iconic songs including “My Heart Will Go On”, “All By Myself”, and “To Love You More”, the piece is co-written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle, and Constantine Rousouli. It premiered off-Broadway in June 2022 and won several awards.
In London, the cast stars Darren Bennett as Victor Garber/Luigi, WhatsOnStage Award winner Drew as Céline, WhatsOnStage Award nominee Jordan Luke Gage as Cal, Daytime Emmy nominee Stephen Guarino (Showtime’s I’m Dying Up Here, Titanique in New York) as Ruth, WhatsOnStage Award nominee Rob Houchen as Jack, Kat Ronney as Rose, WhatsOnStage Award nominee Charlotte Wakefield as Molly Brown and WhatsOnStage Award winner Williams as the Iceberg.
Completing the company are Freddie King (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), Adrianne Langley (Sixties Girls), Madison Swan (The Book of Mormon), Rodney Vubya (The Book of Mormon) and Kristina Walz (Titanique in New York).
Casting from 8 June is to be announced.
Titanique is directed by Blue (RuPaul’s Drag Race) and choreographed by Ellenore Scott (Funny Girl, Little Shop of Horrors), with music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations by IRNE Award winner Nicholas James Connell. The creative team also includes set designers Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Laubacher, costume designer Alejo Vietti, lighting designer Paige Seber, sound designer Lawrence Schober and casting directors Pearson Casting. It is co-produced by Eva Price and Michael Harrison.
Members of the cast will appear on screen this weekend on Comic Relief: Red Nose Day tonight, 21 March. Tomorrow, there’s a chance to see the full company on The National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals.
Titanique is now booking at the Criterion Theatre until 4 January 2026.
