Titaníque The Musical set to play the Criterion Theatre in London

The award-winning, Off-Broadway show Titaníque The Musical is sailing into the West End’s Criterion Theatre this December for its UK premiere.

The show will open at the Criterion Theatre on 9 December 2024, in time for a Christmas and New Year run.

Produced by Michael Harrison (Hello, Dolly!, The Wizard of Oz, Starlight Express) and Eva Price, Titaníque The Musical is a juke-box musical parody based on James Cameron’s 1997 hit movie Titanic starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

The show is set to the songs of Canadian megastar Celine Dion.

Casting is to be announced.

Titaníque is billed as a musical celebration that turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical and joyful slay-fest, and features powerhouse voices and show-stopping numbers.

The show’s playlist is a roll-call of (mostly) Celine Dion classics, including – of course – My Heart Will Go On from Titanic, plus A New Day Has Come, All By Myself, Beauty and the Beast, I Drove All Night, I Surrender, “I’m Alive, If You Asked Me To, River Deep, Mountain High, Seduces Me, Taking Chances, Tell Him, The Prayer, To Love You More, You and I, Where Does My Heart Beat Now, and a surprising addition with Who Let the Dogs Out!

The show is also set to open in Montreal, Canada this October 27, moving to Toronto in December.

Producer Eva Price said in a statement: “Producing Titanique has been a thrill of a lifetime. I’m so grateful to have productions now happening all over the world, but I’m beyond ecstatic to be coming to the West End. London has always been the epicenter of quality, show-stopping entertainment and I couldn’t be happier then to be dropping anchor in Piccadilly Circus at the esteemed Criterion Theater. I am thrilled Londoners will soon experience the unhinged delight that Titanique brings night after night to Americans.”

Producer Michael Harrison said: “When I first saw Titanique in New York, I thought it was the funniest show I had ever seen. Every time I have returned since, I have only loved it more, and I was determined to bring it to London so audiences here could also be thrilled by its irresistible joy. We have found the perfect theatre to set sail, and I can’t wait to open the doors later this year.”

Tickets go on general sale on 12 September.
