Layton Williams extends run in Titaníque at the West End’s Criterion Theatre

West End star and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams (Cabaret) is extending his run in new West End musical comedy Titaníque at the Criterion Theatre, until 8 June 2025.

Layton plays The Iceberg and other roles in the madcap musical, which also stars Lauren Drew as Celine Dion, Darren Bennett as Victor Garber / Luigi, Jordan Luke Gage as Cal, Stephen Guarino as Ruth, Rob Houchen as Jack, Kat Ronney as Rose and Charlotte Wakefield as Molly Brown.

The cast also includes Adrianne Langley, Madison Swan and Rodney Vubya, and understudies Freddie King and Kristina Walz.

When the music of Céline Dion makes sweet Canadian love with the eleven-time Oscar-winning blockbuster film Titanic, you get Titaníque, off Broadway’s most award-winning splash hit that turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical musical fantasia.

Titaníque recently announced it is extending its run at the Criterion Theatre, playing to 8 June.

The show opened at the Criterion Theatre earlier this month to stellar reviews from London’s theatre critics, including five-stars from The Times and the Daily Mail.

Titaníque is co-written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli, and directed by Tye Blue. The creative team also includes choreography by Ellenore Scott, Music Supervision, Arrangements and Orchestrations by IRNE Award-Winner Nicholas James Connell, Scenic Design by Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Lauchbacher for Iron Bloom Creative Production, Costume Design by Alejo Vietti, Lighting Design Paige Seber, Sound Design by Lawrence Schober, and Casting by Pearson Casting CDG.

Titaníque won seven major awards during the 2022/23 New York theatre season, including three Lucille Lortel Awards, the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best New Musical, Las Culturistas’ Culture Award for Best Indoor Performance and two Dorian Awards.

Layton Williams said in a statement: “When the chance came to extend my run in Titaníque I immediately took it. I’m having the most iconic time alongside this stellar original West End cast. The energy from audiences has been everything. Y’all have really been showing up and showing out and we’re so grateful. It’s such a wild, hilarious ride, and I’m buzzing to be able to slay as the Iceberg for another three months.”

Titaníque is now playing at the Criterion Theatre in London, booking to 8 June 2025.
