What is the story of Titanique?
Want to find out what really happened to Jack and Rose on that fateful night?
Just leave it to Céline Dion to enchant the audience with her totally wild take, recharting the course of Titanic’s beloved moments and characters with her iconic song catalogue.
Sailing on fierce powerhouse voices in show-stopping performances of such hits as My Heart Will Go On, All by Myself and To Love you More – backed by a full live band – Titanique is a one-of-a-kind theatrical voyage bursting with nostalgia, heart and campy chaos.
Is Titanique the Musical good?
★★★★
Yes – I loved it! The most uplifting celebration of queer joy in the West End right now. A parody musical about the sinking of the Titanic, as told by Celine Dion, featuring some of her biggest hits (and drag queens) – I defy anyone to not have the best night out as this show.
The casting for this show is insane – featuring more West End stars than you can shake a life jacket at.
Lauren Drew is hilariously perfect as our storyteller, Céline Dion. Jordan Luke Gage looks like he is living his best life as Cal, Rob Houchen smoulders his way through sensationally as Jack and Charlotte Wakefield is iconic as the unsinkable Molly Brown. When the cast was first announced and I saw Layton Williams would be playing ‘The Iceberg’ – I knew we would be in for a treat and he did not disappoint.
It’s a bit long at 100 minutes with no interval and there is a good ten minutes that could easily be cut, or why not have two acts? It’s a fun, party show and it seems odd to not want to give audience members the chance to go back to the bar.
Titanique is hilariously camp in every way. Near, far, wherever you are – get yourself a ticket onboard, where the only danger you’ll be in is the risk of dying from laughing.
