Titanique tickets: What you need to know about this hilarious musical parody in the West End and how to find tickets
In 1997 James Cameron's epic film Titanic dramatised the infamous sinking of the titular vessel, with the added grand tragedy of a star-crossed romance between upper-class passenger Rose (Kate Winslet) and steerage boy Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio). The movie also benefitted from a stirring love song: My Heart Will Go On, sung by Canadian artist Céline Dion.
All of those elements play into the fabulously funny musical parody Titanique, a cult-hit American show which has become a West End sensation. The madcap story sees Dion gate-crashing a guided tour of the Titanic museum and retelling the tale of the ship's sinking from her (imagined) perspective.
Cue a hilarious mash-up of iconic Titanic characters and lines with delightfully camp, very naughty modern gags, surreal flights of fancy (the deadly iceberg is reborn as legendary diva Tina Turner), and belting tunes from Dion's impressive back catalogue, including Taking Chances, To Love You More, and All By Myself.
The West End production won two Olivier Awards: Best Entertainment or Comedy Play, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Layton Williams. No wonder Titanique tickets are the new must-have: this gloriously silly show will go on and on.

The cast
The original movie catapulted Kate Winslet and Leonard DiCaprio into mega-stardom, and the Titanique cast now gets to enjoy inhabiting these beloved roles – plus that of Céline Dion. Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli, who co-created the show with Tye Blue, originally starred in the Off-Broadway production.
Succeeding them is a talented company of British musical theatre stars. The Olivier-nominated Lauren Drew leads the cast as Dion; her previous credits include Six, Legally Blonde, Heathers, and Kinky Boots. Rob Houchen (Les Misérables, South Pacific) plays Jack, Kat Ronney (Hex, Hamlet) is Rose, Jordan Luke Gage (& Juliet, Bonnie & Clyde) is Cal, and the Olivier-winning Layton Williams (Cabaret, Strictly Come Dancing finalist) is the iceberg. In fact, the tight-knit ensemble plays multiple roles in this enjoyably fast-paced romp.

Bruce Springsteen joined by Paul McCartney at Liverpool concert
The American musician was joined on stage by the 82-year-old Beatles star during the second of two shows at Anfield stadium on Saturday, with Sir Paul then providing vocals as the pair played the band's Can't Buy Me Love. Springsteen, 75, and his E Street Band are in the UK as part of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which kicked off with three shows in Manchester last month. Footage shared on social media showed the surprised crowd cheering loudly as Sir Paul was introduced, before he then playfully pointed at Springsteen and the pair shared an embrace. Before he left the stage after their performance, Sir Paul addressed the crowd and reportedly said: 'Thank you, Scousers.' The two men have previously performed together on several occasions, most notably when Sir Paul delivered a headline set at Glastonbury in 2022. Announced as a surprise all the way from the east coast of America, Springsteen joined Sir Paul, who became the festival's oldest solo headliner, as they played hits Glory Days and I Wanna Be Your Man on the Pyramid Stage. In 2012, Sir Paul had joined Springsteen on stage at the end of the singer's headline slot at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park, London, but both stars found their microphones cut off before they could address the crowds after exceeding the curfew. Beginning his career in the 1960s, Springsteen has gone on to have 12 UK top 10 albums and four UK top 10 singles and is best known for songs such as Born In The USA, Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run. His Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which includes 16 dates across six European countries, will conclude in Milan, Italy, on July 3.
