Titanique a very camp parody of the blockbuster tearjerker of a movie is now playing Off-Broadway to very good reviews even from the likes of the NY Times.
In this musical retelling of James Cameron’s movie the writers who were obviously upset that it only featured one song by Celine Dion, they have made the Canadian singer the star of their show. They added not just a bunch of her songs to the story, but Ms Dion herself (Maria Mindelle), she is now a narrator who keeps popping in and out of the action.
The premise behind it is that Ms Dion was on the doomed cruise liner in 1912 and is somehow still around to explain what happened — cue “I’m Alive,” of course. In this ridiculous …. but extremely funny plot Ms. Dion not only mingles with the passengers, but she shamelessly tries to overshadow them, sneaking in one of her hits at every opportunity.
It's a limited run-through to September Asylum NYC 307 W 26th St (Between 8th/9th Avenues) New York, NY 10001
