Céline Dion, dead ahead! Titanique, the deliriously goofy musical spoof of the movie Titanic, gets its forward thrust from the hit catalog of the Canadian pop superstar, who's never met a note she wouldn’t belt to near-Guinness-record heights.
Cruising along on Broadway at the St. James Theatre following runs off Broadway and around the world, the “shining comedy showcase” — per New York Theatre Guide’s rave review — retells the big-screen blockbuster about the brief but hot romance of well-to-do Rose and steerage-status Jack, which blooms during the ship’s doomed maiden voyage in 1912.
The show is the theatrical “lurv” child (as Dion would say) of Marla Mindelle, who stars as the superstar songstress; Constantine Rousouli, who plays Jack; and Tye Blue, who directs this ship of intentional foolery. For good measure, also on hand are Melissa Barrera as Rose, Jim Parsons as Ruth, Deborah Cox as The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Frankie Grande as Victor Garber, John Riddle as Cal, and Layton Williams as The Iceberg.
They’re all saturated by Dion’s music. Read on to learn more about Titanique's songs and how they propel the action.
