About Titanique
Titanique is a jukebox musical parody of the 1997 film, featuring the music of CĂ©line Dion. The show is performed 8 times weekly at the Daryl Roth Theatre, an Off-Broadway performance space in Manhattan. The show has been a huge success, consistently selling out 90-100% of its 270 seats since its November 2022 opening. The show transferred from the smaller Asylum NYC to meet ticketing demand, where it previously ran from June to November 2022.
To promote the transfer, Titanique was the musical guest for the 11/22/2022 episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers. The performance received US viewership ratings of 795,000 by Nielsen, and was featured in Playbill, Vulture, and Broadway World.
The show has been extensively featured in major media outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and People Magazine. It has won three Lucille Lortel Awards (recognizing excellence in New York Off-Broadway theatre), the Off-Broadway Alliance's Award for Best New Musical, and was nominated for a Queerty, the largest queer culture and entertainment awards show.Â
The show has extended numerous times, with a current close date of January 7, 2024.
