Titanique: The Musical, the side-splittingly camp reimagining of James Cameron’s “Titanic”, has officially extended its West End run until January 2026. This announcement solidifies the show’s place as one of London’s most beloved musical comedies, riding a wave of critical and audience acclaim at the Criterion Theatre. The news comes hot on the heels of Titanique’s three Olivier Award nominations, proving that the unsinkable musical is just getting started.

A Theatrical Hit That Keeps on Sailing

Having experienced the show firsthand on January 14, we can confidently say that Titanique: The Musical is an unmissable spectacle. The production reimagines the tragic love story of Jack and Rose through the larger-than-life persona and music of Céline Dion, delivering a queer, camp-soaked adventure that had us in stitches from start to finish.

Lauren Drew’s impeccable portrayal of Céline Dion as the show’s unreliable narrator adds a unique layer of hilarity, as she takes audiences through her own version of the Titanic story. The show is filled with iconic Dion hits such as “My Heart Will Go On”, “All By Myself”, and “River Deep, Mountain High”, but also sprinkles in some unexpected musical moments—because who would’ve thought “Who Let the Dogs Out” would find its place on the Ship of Dreams?

From over-the-top reimaginings of famous scenes (Jack’s artistic skills are hilariously questionable) to the introduction of a diva Iceberg (played to perfection by Layton Williams), Titanique is a masterclass in parody and theatrical brilliance. The cast—featuring Kat Ronney as Rose, Rob Houchen as Jack, and Jordan Luke Gage as Cal—delivers powerhouse vocals while embracing the show’s outrageous comedy.

Olivier Awards Recognition & The Show’s Future

Titanique’s success has been further cemented with three Olivier Award nominations:

  • Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play
  • Best Actress in a Musical – Lauren Drew
  • Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical – Layton Williams

These nominations recognise the show’s ability to blend comedic brilliance with top-tier musical performances, proving that campy, queer theatre can captivate mainstream audiences.

While the current cast will continue to shine until June 10, new casting announcements are on the horizon. With an extended run ahead, the show is bound to welcome fresh talent while maintaining the dazzling, over-the-top energy that has made it a West End sensation.
