"It's all coming back to audiences now. Broadway is about to get a little wetter, louder and a lot more Céline. Titanique, the gloriously unhinged musical comedy that reimagines Titanic through the powerhouse ballads and fever-dream narration of Céline Dion, is officially sailing onto Broadway this spring for a limited run. The award-winning hit will begin performances on March 26, 2026, with opening night set for April 12 at the St. James Theatre (most recently home to The Queen of Versailles)."
"If you missed its previous runs, we'll start by saying that Titanique is not a subtle take on the 1997 film. Co-written by Marla Mindelle, Tye Blue and Constantine Rousouli, the musical gleefully hijacks James Cameron's epic romance and hands the storytelling reins to Dion herself, who insists on utilizing her greatest hits to explain what really happened to Jack and Rose. The result is a campy, high-octave spoof packed with powerhouse vocals, absurd humor and deeply committed chaos."
"Mindelle will reprise her Lortel Award-winning performance as Dion, a role she originated Off Broadway during the show's three-year run, which ended in June 2025. Blue will direct the Broadway production. Additional casting will be announced at a later date. The Broadway creative team includes choreographer Ellenore Scott, costume designer Alejo Vietti, lighting designer Paige Seber and music supervisor Nicholas James Connell, with a full live band bringing Céline's hits to maximalist life."
