Think a legendary maritime disaster turned into a high-octane, comedic makeover that replaces tragedy with the power of pop ballads. One particular theatrical tells the most famous sinking in history through a lens of glitter and satire. As a beloved cinematic masterpiece, the Titanic film meets a vocal powerhouse, and audiences are left wondering how a historical iceberg could ever be this much fun.

Straight from the silver screen to the Broadway stage, Titanique promises to be a voyage unlike any other.

With a comedic reimagining of the classic romance, Titanic now stands freshly repurposed for the modern day North Atlantic.

According to New York Theatre Guide, Titanique is an award-winning, campy jukebox musical that serves as a direct parody of the 1997 James Cameron film Titanic. The story of Jack and Rose is told through the perspective of a fictionalized Celine Dion, who claims she was actually present during the sinking. She narrates the entire affair by utilizing her own extensive catalog of iconic pop hits to drive the plot forward.

The show features caricatures of the film’s main characters, like Jack Dawson, Rose DeWitt Bukater, Cal Hockley, and Ruth DeWitt Bukater, alongside a personified Iceberg. The main attraction, however, is renditions of Celine Dion songs such as ‘My Heart Will Go On’, ‘All By Myself’, and ‘To Love You More’, reinterpreted to fit the dramatic and comedic scenes.

It is described as hilarious and campy, heavily celebrated for its LGBTQ-friendly humor. The performance is approximately 100 minutes with no intermission. It is recommended for ages 13+ due to strong language and adult s***** innuendoes.

A star-studded lineup of performers is ready to bring these eccentric versions of historical figures to life.

Titanique is co-written and directed by Tye Blue, along with Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli, who co-wrote the book. First taking the professional stage in 2022 on Off-Broadway, the show has seen several faces dancing the primary roles in the play through the years. It was, however, the very first set of faces that made their way to the 2026 Broadway rendition of the spectacle. 

Celine Dion: Reprised by co-creator Marla Mindelle.

Jack Dawson: Constantine Rousouli.

Ruth DeWitt Bukater: Jim Parsons (Emmy winner, The Big Bang Theory).

Before arriving on Broadway, Titanique was a major smash hit, starting as a one-night show in Los Angeles in 2017 before opening Off-Broadway in 2022. The show has so far won three 2023 Lucille Lortel Awards, including an Outstanding Musical, among others. In addition, it has already enjoyed successful runs in London, Sydney, Toronto, Chicago, and Paris. 

Titanique, the parody of the legendary movie, performs a limited Broadway run from March 26, 2026, through July 12, 2026, at Broadway's St. James Theatre.
