Titanique started as a downtown parody and has arrived at the St. James with four Tony nominations, which tells you the joke holds at scale: the whole plot of the 1997 film delivered by a Celine impersonator who insists she was on the boat, powered by My Heart Will Go On, It's All Coming Back to Me Now and a full-throated cast that can actually sing them. No intermission, a hundred minutes, and the loudest room on Broadway. If your group cannot agree on a show, this is the one nobody regrets.
What to expect
A big Broadway house running a comedy at full volume, with an audience that whoops. One hundred minutes straight through, no intermission. Expect belted power ballads delivered straight-faced and a crowd that treats the curtain call as a concert.
Good to know
- A/C/E or N/Q/R/W to Times Square-42nd Street, then a short walk to West 44th.
- Runs 1 hour 40 minutes with no intermission — plan drinks for before, not during.
- Best for adults and older teens; the humour is bawdy.
- Rush and lottery tickets are offered; check the show's official channels the morning of.
- The engagement is booked through September 20, so August dates are mid-run.
- The St. James is wheelchair accessible with advance notice.
