The musical "TitanĂque" is scheduled to open on Broadway at the St. James Theatre, with previews beginning March 26 and the official opening night set for April 12. Marla Mindelle, co-creator and original star, will reprise her role as CĂ©line Dion from the Off-Broadway production.
Additional cast members announced include Jim Parsons as Ruth Dewitt Bukater, Deborah Cox as Unsinkable Molly Brown, Frankie Grande as Victor Garber, and Constantine Rousouli as Jack Dawson. Rousouli, also a co-creator of the musical, and Grande will reprise their roles from the Off-Broadway run. Further casting will be announced by The Telsey Office's Rachel Hoffman.
Ticket pre-sales will commence on January 8, accessible via TitaniqueMusical.com, with general sales beginning January 12. The production is scheduled for a limited run, concluding on July 12.
The musical, featuring a book by Mindelle, Tye Blue, and Rousouli, incorporates songs popularized by CĂ©line Dion. Its narrative reinterprets the 1997 film "Titanic," presenting a fictionalized CĂ©line Dion leading a museum tour to recount the story of Jack and Rose. "TitanĂque" originated as a one-night concert in Los Angeles in 2017, moved to New York's Green Room 42 in 2018, and became a fully staged Off-Broadway production in 2022. It later transferred to the Daryl Roth Theatre for a three-year engagement. The production has also been staged internationally in locations including Australia, Canada, London's West End, Chicago, and Paris.
The creative team largely reuniting from the Off-Broadway production includes director Tye Blue, choreographer Ellenore Scott, music supervisor, arranger, and orchestrator Nicholas James Connell, scenic designers Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Laubacher (Iron Bloom Creative Production), costume designer Alejo Vietti, lighting designer Paige Seber, and sound designer Lawrence Schober. Charles G. LaPointe will join as hair and wig designer for the Broadway run. ShowTown Theatricals will serve as general managers. Eva Price is the producer.
