THE SHOW SAILS BACK TO MONTREAL FOR AN ENCORE ENGAGEMENT AT THE SEGAL CENTRE, FEBRUARY 6 TO 16, 2025
The all-Canadian production of NYC’s must-sea splash-hit musical comedy Titaníque is taking the country by storm. After a sold-out run at Montreal’s Segal Centre, the show began performances at Toronto’s CAA theatre on December 5 and has been dazzling packed houses of deliriously happy, kooky-krazy audience members ever since.
“Bursts with energy! You leave feeling delirious.” - Globe & Mail
“Wildly funny! This show is unsinkable!” - CTV
“A rollercoaster of fun! As entertaining as it is unexpected.” - CBC
“A triumph of non-stop laughs and powerhouse pop songs.” - Global
Due to popular demand, Titaníque has been extended. This irresistible musical comedy will now stay docked in Toronto (at the CAA Theatre) through January 19, 2025. Tickets (or should we say tiquets), starting at $39, are available now at mirvish.com or by calling 1.800.461.3333.
And that’s not all, after its seven-week Toronto run, Titaníque sets course for Montreal, where it will play a return engagement at the Segal Theatre, February 2 to 16, 2025. Tickets are now available at segalcentre.org or by calling 514.739.7944.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Written by Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli and Tye Blue, directed by Tye Blue, with music arrangements and orchestrations by Nicholas James Connell, Titaníque had its world premiere Off-Broadway at NYC’s Asylum Theatre in June 2022, produced by Eva Price. The show won critical raves and became an instant audience hit – which necessitated a transfer to the Daryl Roth Theatre in November 2022, where its run continues to sell out. The production won three Lucille Lortel Awards, including Outstanding Musical, the Off-Broadway Alliance Best Musical Award, the Dorian Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Production, and a Las Culturistas Culture Award.
Subsequently the show has become an international success, now playing in Sydney, London and Toronto. More productions will be forthcoming.
When the music of Céline Dion makes sweet Canadian love with the eleven-time Oscar®-winning blockbuster film Titanic, you get Titaníque, Off-Broadway’s most award-winning splash hit, which turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical musical fantasia and joyful slay-fest.
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 catalog. 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 – Titaníque is a one-of-a-kind theatrical voyage bursting with nostalgia, heart, and campy chaos.
THE CAST
Véronique Claveau stars as Céline Dion. An actor, singer and dancer, Véronique has been hailed as “a true queen of musical theatre” by Radio-Canada. Her breakthrough came in 2004 as a finalist on the reality TV talent show Star Académie. From there she quickly became a popular singer and actor in Québec. She was cast in several TV shows and became a regular in the Théâtre du Rideau Vert’s end- of-year satirical stage revue, Revue et Corrigée, which showcased her excellent comedic skills and superb singing. It was here she first won acclaim for her brilliant imitation of national icon Céline Dion. This led to her starring in the Bye Bye, Quebec’s massively popular televised year-end revue, which made her a star across French-Canada. She starred in French translations of Broadway musicals, notably Hairspray and Annie at Théâtre Saint-Denis.
Joining Ms. Claveau in the cast are Mariah Campos (Stratford’s The Music Man) and Seth Zosky (Winnipeg Jewish Theatre’s Pain to Power) as star-crossed lovers Rose and Jack. Michael Torontow (Hairspray and Dirty Dancing for Mirvish, Sweeney Todd and Into The Woods for Talk Is Free Theatre ) will play Rose’s fiancé Cal while Constant Bernard (CBC Gem/Nickelodeon’s Overlord and the Underwoods) will play Rose’s mother, Ruth, in drag. Mike Melino (Barry Mann in the Segal’s Beautiful last season) will take on the role of Victor Garber and Luigi. Erica Peck (originated the role of Scaramouche in the Canadian premiere production of We Will Rock You) will be the Unsinkable Molly Brown and Christopher Ning (Lola in Kinky Boots) will play the Seaman and the infamous Iceberg (yes, that’s really a role!). As Céline’s Background Vocalists, André Anthony (Lead Drifter in Segal’s Beautiful), Queenie (TVA’s Star Académie), and Rose Messenger (Charlottetown’s Anne and Gilbert) will belt their faces off. Kaylee Harwood (toured North America for two years on the 1st & 2nd National Tours of Beautiful), Tess Benger (Carole King in Segal’s Beautiful), and David Comeau (Rock of Ages at the Elgin Theatre), will be on Standby, ready to step in at a moment’s notice.
