The real-life Titanic voyage and the Titanic film were tragic, but Titanique is firmly a comedic spoof. Its co-creators, Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle, and Constantine Rousouli, are friends in real life and performed parody musicals and dinner theatre in Los Angeles for years. There's little they could do to love Titanic more: Besides co-writing Titanique, Blue also directs it. Plus, Mindelle and Rousouli originated the roles of Céline Dion and Jack, the role made famous on screen by Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997.

Titanique was most recently presented as a concert called the Maiden Voyage, performed at New York's Le Poisson Rouge lounge and streamed to virtual audiences in 2021. Before that, the musical had pop-up engagements in New York and Los Angeles, earning a BroadwayWorld Cabaret Award in 2019. The 2022 run of Titanique in New York marks its first fully staged production.

Titanique has proved unsinkable, with legions of fans buoying it up. After kicking off at the Asylum Theatre in summer 2022, the musical was extended multiple times and has now resurfaced at the Daryl Roth Theatre.

What to watch for

• The 1997 Titanic movie won 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture. It was also the first film in history to gross over $1 billion internationally in movie theatres.
• One scene in Titanique is entirely improvised every night. Can you spot which one it is?
• References to RuPaul’s Drag Race, Julia Fox in Uncut Gems, and Patti LuPone (complete with a life-size cardboard cutout) are just some of the diverse pop culture moments in Titanique.
• In case you ever forget that the songs of Titanique are Dion’s, the Celine character often jumps into the other characters’ numbers as they sing them. Not even Jack and Rose get a romantic duet fully alone!
• Titanique isn't the only musical that incorporates the Titanic sinking. Meredith Willson wrote The Unsinkable Molly Brown in 1960, and a new version just played off Broadway in 2020 with Fun Home's Beth Malone in the title role. There's also the 1997 musical Titanic (the film premiered later that year by coincidence), a historical drama that won five Tony Awards including Best Musical.
