Tickets for Titaníque will be available for pre-sale starting January 8, with general sales beginning on January 12. Those interested can sign up at TitaniqueMusical.com. The limited engagement will run through July 12.
A Musical Journey Through Time
Titaníque features a book written by Mindelle, Tye Blue, and Rousouli. The soundtrack showcases songs made famous by Céline Dion, adding to the musical’s charm. The storyline humorously reimagines the love story of Jack and Rose while embarking on a fictional tour led by Dion at the Titanic museum.
