Everything you need to know about 'Titanique' on Broadway

Titanique is a campy, comedic jukebox musical that parodies James Cameron’s 1997 Titanic film using the music and persona of Céline Dion. In a Titanic museum, Dion, who famously sang the film’s love song, “My Heart Will Go On,” claims she survived the disaster and shares her version of, well, what really went down when the ship sank.

Titanique begins Broadway performances March 26, 2026 at the St. James Theatre, located at 246 W. 44th St. between Broadway and Eighth Avenue.

The St. James was built by producer Abraham L. Erlanger on the site of the original, iconic Sardi’s restaurant (now located down the block). The theatre opened in 1927 as The Erlanger with the production Merry Malones.

Recent productions at the theatre include The Queen of Versailles, Sunset Boulevard, Illinoise, and Spamalot.

Titanique runs 100 minutes without an intermission. The typical running time for a Broadway musical is between 90 minutes and 3 hours, and longer shows usually include a 15-minute intermission.

Titanique has Broadway performances Tuesday through Sunday, with two performances on Wednesdays and Saturdays and no performances on Mondays. The standard schedule is subject to one-off changes; please visit our Titanique page for a complete performance calendar.

Titanique runs on Broadway from March 26 to July 12, 2026.

Titanique is recommended for audience members ages 13+ due to strong language and some sexual innuendos. Children under 4 are not permitted in Broadway theatres.

Titanique premiered as a series of pop-up concert engagements in Los Angeles and New York starting in 2017, and its first fully staged production was a 2022-25 Off-Broadway run. Now, Titanique debuts on Broadway in March 2026.

Titanique is inspired by director James Cameron’s 1997 Oscar winner Titanic.

The Titanique musical is by a trio of friends and collaborators: Tye Blue, who also directs the show; Marla Mindelle, who plays Céline Dion; and Constantine Rousouli, who plays Jack.

The score is composed of Dion's hit songs, including “All By Myself,” “To Love You More,” and of course, “My Heart Will Go On.”

[Titanic cleverly blends characters from the movie with real-life stars, spoofed as characters. An ensemble fills out crowd scenes and vocal harmonies. Several cast members have been announced. We’ll update the roster when others are.

• Céline Dion: A narrator diva who retells the story of the Titanic through her songs and wild commentary.
• Jack Dawson: A free‑spirited artist and romantic lead.
• Rose DeWitt Bukater: A rebellious upper‑class heroine torn between an oppressive fiancé and Jack.
• Cal Hockley: Rose’s controlling, vain, aggressively wealthy fiancé.
• Ruth DeWitt Bukater: Rose’s status‑obsessed, melodramatic mother.
• Molly Brown: A brash, warmhearted American socialite and voice of reason.
• Victor Garber: A comic character named for the actor who played the ship’s designer in the Titanic movie.
• The Iceberg: A scene-stealing force of fate. The performer in this part doubles as a seaman, almost solely for the innuendo.

Announced so far for the Broadway cast of Titanique are:

• Marla Mindelle as Céline Dion
• Constantine Rousouli as Jack Dawson
• Frankie Grande (Big Brother) as Victor Garber
• Four-time Emmy winner Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) as Ruth Dewitt Bukater
• Grammy nominee Deborah Cox (a former backup singer for Dion) as Unsinkable Molly Brown

Mindelle and Rousouli are co-creators of Titanique, and they and Grande reprise from the Off-Broadway production. Additional cast members have yet to be announced.

The songs in Titanique are hits from Céline Dion’s catalog that have been reinterpreted to pump up melodrama, romance, and goofy humor throughout the musical. Several songs, including “My Heart Will Go On” — of course! — are part of the vocal voyage; see the full track list below.

There's a boatload more to know about Titanique — learn more about what to expect from the zany performance below.

• Titanique’s co-creators — Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle, and Constantine Rousouli — are longtime friends who have a shared history doing dinner theatre and parody musicals in L.A., which inspired Titanique.
• The idea for the show was born over drinks. The co-creators thought: "What if Celine Dion didn’t just sing the theme, but also survived the disaster?"
• The book is packed with Titanic references and jokes for fans. The show also changes some of its jokes regularly to incorporate current pop culture moments.
• The actress playing Dion improvises one scene in the musical every night, and it's not uncommon to see the other actors try not to crack up at what she comes up with.
• The Titanic film's “logic” is openly mocked, especially the door debate. If you know, you know!
• Besides Dion, other performers are also namechecked in the show, including Patti LuPone and Tina Turner. We won't spoil how!
