TITANIQUE Now On In Sydney

TITANIQUE has become one of New York’s most sought-after off-Broadway tickets.

Australian Producer Michael Cassel and original Producer Eva Price has brought the award-winning splash hit TITANIQUE to the The Grand Electric, creating a cool new space for the hottest musicals in the world in Sydney.

TITANIQUE’s director and co-writer Tye Blue said of the show’s Sydney premiere: “If you love Céline Dion, if you love the film Titanic, and you love having a completely silly night out then this show is for you. TITANIQUE is a nonstop waterfall of pure joy that will literally melt your troubles away. I can’t wait to see you there!”

The irresistibly funny and irreverent send-up of the blockbuster film Titanic, driven by the songs of pop icon Céline Dion, TITANIQUE has become one of New York’s most sought after tickets and has extended its run at the Daryl Roth Theatre in Union Square multiple times since it premiered in 2022.

Tickets for the exclusive Sydney run are on sale now at titaniquemusical.com.au.

TITANIQUE’s original producer, Eva Price, said: “I am so thrilled that TITANIQUE has made its maiden voyage to international waters in Sydney for its Australian debut, and I cannot wait to see that Aussie sense of humour embrace this hysterically funny nautical fantasia when it comes to life down under this September.”

Australian producer Michael Cassel said: “We know how much Sydney loves a great night out and unabashed escapism, and TITANIQUE is the perfect show for both of those things.”

When the music of Céline Dion makes sweet Canadian love with the eleven-time Oscar Award-winning blockbuster film Titanic, you get TITANIQUE, off-Broadway’s most award-winning splash hit, which turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical musical fantasia. Want to find out what really happened to Jack and Rose on that fateful night? Just leave it to Céline Dion to enchant the audience with her totally wild take, recharting the course of Titanic’s beloved moments and characters with her iconic song catalogue. Sailing on fierce powerhouse voices in show-stopping performances of such hits as My Heart Will Go On, All By Myself, and To Love You More – backed by the unparalleled energy of a full live band – TITANIQUE is a one-of-a-kind theatrical voyage bursting with nostalgia, heart, and campy chaos.

Co-written by Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli and Tye Blue, TITANIQUE celebrated its off-Broadway premiere in June 2022 at Asylum Theater, starring the musical’s co-authors Mindelle (Sister Act, Netflix’s Special) and Rousouli (Cruel Intentions, Hairspray) as Céline Dion and Jack Dawson.

After several sold-out extensions, the musical transferred to the Daryl Roth Theatre on 20 November, 2022. TITANIQUE became such a hit with audiences that new productions will soon play Toronto, Montreal and London.

Sydney is TITANIQUE’s exclusive Australian berth through support from the NSW Government via its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW.
