Get ready for a Broadway spectacle like no other—Titanique is setting sail, and the full cast has just been revealed! But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t your typical Titanic retelling. Powered by the unforgettable songs of pop legend Céline Dion, this original musical comedy promises to blend humor, heart, and high-energy performances in a way that’s both bold and utterly unique. And this is the part most people miss—it’s a limited engagement, so you’ll want to grab your tickets fast!
Joining the previously announced stars like Marla Mindelle as Céline Dion, Jim Parsons as Ruth Dewitt Bukater, and Melissa Barrera as Rose DeWitt Bukater, the ensemble is now complete. Sara Gallo (1776), Polanco Jones (The Wiz), and Kristina Leopold (SIX) will harmonize as the background vocalists, adding depth to the musical’s iconic soundtrack. Meanwhile, Tess Marshall, Brad Greer (both from the off-Broadway production), and Kyle Ramar Freeman (A Strange Loop) will stand by as understudies, ensuring the show goes on no matter what.
But here’s where it gets controversial: the casting of Layton Williams as The Iceberg has already sparked curiosity. How will this inanimate object become a character? And what does it say about the show’s playful approach to storytelling? It’s a bold choice that’s sure to divide opinions—but isn’t that what great theater is all about?
The production team is equally impressive, with co-creator Tye Blue at the helm as director and Ellenore Scott choreographing the high-octane numbers. Nicholas James Connell handles music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations, while Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Laubacher (Iron Bloom Creative Production) design the scenic backdrop. Alejo Vietti’s costumes, Paige Seber’s lighting, and Lawrence Schober’s sound design promise to transport audiences to a world where tragedy meets comedy—all under the glittering spotlight of Céline Dion’s greatest hits.
Titanique begins its 16-week run at the St. James Theatre on March 26, with opening night set for April 12. The show will sail through until July 12, giving audiences a limited window to experience this one-of-a-kind musical. Here’s the question we’re all asking: Can a story as iconic as the Titanic be reimagined in such a daring way? And will it sink or swim with audiences? Let us know what you think in the comments—we’re eager to hear your take!
Don’t miss the boat—get your tickets to Titanique today and be part of Broadway history!
