The upcoming Chicago bow of the Off-Broadway hit Titanìque has found its full cast, an ensemble of Chicago-based actors. The musical is set to perform at Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place via Broadway in Chicago and Porchlight Music Theatre (in association with Eva Price) beginning March 25, 2025. The eight-week limited engagement will continue through May 18.
Clare Kennedy McLaughlin will lead the company as Céline Dion, with Adam Fane as Jack, Maya Rowe as Rose, Jackson Evans as Victor Garber, Rob Lindley as Ruth, Adrian Aguilar as Cal, Abby C. Smith as Molly Brown, and Lorenzo Shawn Parnell as The Seaman and Iceberg. The cast will also include background singers Eric Lewis, Caroline Lyell, and Elaine Watson; and understudies Jordan Douglas Ellis and Kaitlin Feely.
The musical, currently continuing Off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theatre, parodies the Oscar-winning film Titanic, with Céline Dion herself commandeering a tour at the Titanic Museum to retell the story of the fateful voyage to a soundtrack of her greatest hits, including "All By Myself,' "To Love You More," and, of course, "My Heart Will Go On." The work is written by Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli. Since premiering in Los Angeles in 2017 and Off-Broadway in 2022, the musical has begun a worldwide roll-out, with stagings in Australia, Canada, London, and more.
The musical's co-creator and Off-Broadway director Tye Blue will stage the Chicago production, newly joined by choreographer Kasey Alfonso and music director Michael McBride. Further creative team members are to be announced.
