Broadway-Bound Musical "Titaníque" Sets Sail at the St. James Theatre

The musical parody "Titaníque" will open on Broadway this spring, with preview performances beginning March 26 and an official opening night set for April 12 at the St. James Theatre.

The production, which reimagines the story of the 1997 film "Titanic" through the lens of a fictionalized Céline Dion, is scheduled for a limited engagement, concluding its run on July 12.

Cast and Creative Team

Marla Mindelle, the show's co-creator and original star, will reprise her leading role as Céline Dion from the hit Off-Broadway production. She is joined by several newly announced cast members:

  • Jim Parsons as Ruth Dewitt Bukater
  • Deborah Cox as Unsinkable Molly Brown
  • Frankie Grande as Victor Garber
  • Constantine Rousouli as Jack Dawson

Both Rousouli (also a co-creator) and Grande will be reprising their roles from the Off-Broadway run. Further casting will be announced at a later date.

The creative team largely reunites from the Off-Broadway staging, including director Tye Blue and choreographer Ellenore Scott. Charles G. LaPointe will join the production as the hair and wig designer for the Broadway transfer.

Production Background

"Titaníque" features a book by Marla Mindelle, Tye Blue, and Constantine Rousouli, and incorporates songs popularized by Céline Dion. Its narrative follows a fictionalized Dion as she leads a museum tour recounting the story of Jack and Rose.

The musical originated as a one-night concert in Los Angeles in 2017 before moving to New York, where it evolved into a fully staged Off-Broadway production in 2022.

Following its initial success, the show transferred to the Daryl Roth Theatre for a three-year engagement. It has also been staged internationally in locations including Australia, Canada, London's West End, Chicago, and Paris.

Eva Price is the lead producer for the Broadway production, with ShowTown Theatricals serving as general managers.
