The hit Off-Broadway musical Titanìque, an irreverent send-up of the blockbuster film Titanic,
is getting ready to sail to London. The 2023 Lortel Award-winning Best
Musical will begin previews at the Criterion Theatre at Piccadilly Circus in London’s West End December 9.
Driven by the songs of pop icon and Canada native Céline Dion, Titanìque will officially open January 9, 2025. Tickets will go on sale to the general public September 12 by visiting London.TitaniqueMusical.com.
Casting for London's Titanìque, co-produced by Eva Price and Michael Harrison, will follow at a later date.

In a statement Price said, “Producing Titanìque 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 Theatre. I am thrilled Londoners will soon experience the unhinged delight that Titanique brings night after night to Americans.”
Producer Harrison added, "When I first saw Titanìque 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."
Parodying the Oscar-winning film Titanic, Céline Dion
commandeers a tour at the Titanic Museum and delivers her version of
what really went down between Jack and Rose with hits by the iconic
singer, including "My Heart Will Go On," "All By Myself," and "To Love
You More."
Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli co-wrote the musical with production director Tye Blue. Titanìque features music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations by Nicholas J Connell, choreography by Ellenore Scott, scenic design by Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Lauchbacher, costume design by Alejo Vietti, lighting design by Paige Seber, and sound design by Lawrence Schober. Casting is by Pearson Casting.
The work transferred from the Asylum Theatre to Off-Broadway's Daryl Roth, where it continues.
