Titanique Musical Parody Opens in London

Titanique, a campy musical parody of James Cameron's Titanic, has made its debut at London's Criterion Theatre after a successful Off-Broadway run. The show, featuring a mix of humor, pop culture references, and Céline Dion's songs, follows a fictionalized version of Dion as she narrates the iconic love story of Jack and Rose while poking fun at the film's most famous moments. Critics have praised the performances, particularly Lauren Drew's portrayal of Dion, as well as the energetic cast, although some noted that the humor can be hit or miss. The production has been described as a blend of musical theatre and pantomime, filled with audience engagement and spirited performances. While some feel the show leans towards crude humor, others appreciate its relentless energy and clever reinventions of familiar material. Overall, Titanique is recognized as a fun and entertaining experience, appealing especially to fans of pop culture and musical theatre.
