"The idea for Titanique originated as a drunken riff between friends, imagining Celine Dion not only singing the Titanic theme but believing she survived the disaster."
"The show has evolved from a basement staging to a larger production, now featuring a budget and scale befitting an ocean liner, or a corporate reality TV show."
"Titanique is filled with wink-wink notes and meta Broadway in-jokes, showcasing a self-aware humor that adds to its comedic charm."
"While the production is visually impressive, it sometimes exposes limitations in vocal performance, especially when compared to the original Titanic's iconic soundtrack."
Titanique originated from a playful idea among friends, imagining Celine Dion as a survivor of the Titanic disaster. The musical, co-authored by Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli, and Tye Blue, embraces a campy and humorous tone. It began in a small venue and has since evolved through various stages, including Off-Broadway and West End runs. The current production at St James Theater features a larger scale and budget, incorporating meta-theatrical elements and self-referential humor, while also highlighting some limitations in vocal performance.
