Titanic musical Titanique is setting sail to London’s West End, it has been announced.
The comedy, which debuted off-Broadway in New York in 2022, is a jukebox musical parody of the hit 1997 movie told from the perspective of Celine Dion.
The iconic singer of course sang the original movie’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’, with the production using many of her other hits as Dion gives her “totally wild take” on the story of Jack and Rose
Fans can expect ‘My Heart Will Go On’, as well as the likes of ‘All by Myself’ and ‘To Love You More’ with a full live band, with the production described as “a one-of-a-kind theatrical voyage bursting with nostalgia, heart and campy chaos”.
Titanique is yet to confirm a premiere date or venue in London, so watch this space.
“It has been thrilling to produce Titanique in New York these last two years,” said producer Eva Price. “The show delivers a balm to the soul; it really is a gift to audiences – near, far, wherever they are.
“This hilarious new musical has been bringing so much joy to New Yorkers that its time to dock our ship of dreams in international waters. I am thrilled Londoners will soon experience the unhinged delight that Titanique brings night after night to Americans.”
The musical was written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli, with Blue directing and Ellenore Scott choreographing.
The original Titanic starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as the main star-crossed lovers, and won 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director for James Cameron.
