Review | Titanique' hits Broadway, runs aground
"Titanique begins with a splashy premise but ultimately struggles to stay afloat. Occasionally, a joke lands. But more often, Titanique simply isn't funny, inventive, or especially interesting."
"The musical embraces a loose, anything-goes style built around audience interaction and meta humor. Dion hijacks the story with frequent commentary and a stream of songs dropped into the action."
Titanique is a jukebox parody that reimagines the 1997 film Titanic with Celine Dion's songs, presenting her as a narrator. The Broadway version features a larger budget and notable cast members like Jim Parsons and Melissa Barrera. Despite its unique premise and audience interaction, the show often fails to deliver humor or inventiveness. At 100 minutes, it resembles an extended sketch rather than a fully developed musical, with frequent interruptions and non sequiturs that detract from the overall experience.
