Current Role – Jack in Titanique

In Titanique, Luke stars as Jack — the passionate and charming artist at the centre of this pop-powered musical parody. His performance brings both heart and humour to a reimagined version of the Titanic love story, set to the songs of Céline Dion and infused with camp, chaos, and vocal fireworks.

As Jack, Luke blends warmth, wit, and showstopping vocals in a role that pays homage to the classic film while fully embracing the show’s irreverent spirit. The production continues to play to enthusiastic audiences at the Criterion Theatre in London’s West End.
