Full casting announced for West End transfer of TITANIQUE
Full casting has been announced for the UK premiere of Titanique, which drops anchor in the West End at the Criterion Theatre from 9 December.
The cast includes Darren Bennett (Grease, West End) as Victor Garber/Luigi, Lauren Drew (SIX, UK tour) as Céline, Jordan Luke Gage (Bonnie & Clyde, West End) as Cal, Stephen Guarino (Titanique, LA) as Ruth, Rob Houchen (Les Misérables, West End) as Jack, Kat Ronney (Hex, National Theatre) as Rose, Charlotte Wakefield (The Great British Bake Off Musical, West End) as Molly Brown, and Layton Williams (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, West End) as the Iceberg.
Completing the company are Freddie King (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Union Theatre), Adrianne Langley (Sixties Girls, Dusseldorf), Madison Swan (The Book of Mormon, West End), Rodney Vubya (The Book of Mormon, West End), and Kristina Walz (Titanique, Daryl Roth Theatre).
Producers Eva Price and Michael Harrison said: “We’re overjoyed to see this production come to life in the UK, and thrilled to have brought together this dream team to launch our West End season. When we first set out to cast Titanique, we knew we needed an ensemble that could bring the perfect mix of humour, heart, and talent to this wildly fun show. We can’t wait to welcome them all aboard the ship in London and for audiences to experience the star power this cast will bring to our story.”
When the music of Céline Dion makes sweet Canadian love with the eleven-time Oscar®-winning blockbuster film Titanic, you get Titanique, Off Broadway’s most award-winning splash hit that turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical musical fantasia.
Want to find out what really happened to Jack and Rose on that fateful night? Just leave it to Céline Dion to enchant the audience with her totally wild take, recharting the course of Titanic’s beloved moments and characters with her iconic song catalogue. Sailing on fierce powerhouse voices in show-stopping performances of such hits as ‘My Heart Will Go On’, ‘All by Myself’ and ‘To Love You More’ – backed by a full live band – Titanique is a one-of-a-kind theatrical voyage bursting with nostalgia, heart and campy chaos.
Co-written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli, Titanique is directed by Tye Blue, and choreographed by Ellenore Scott, with music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Nicholas James Connell, set design by Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Lauchbacher for Iron Bloom Creative Production, costumes by Alejo Vietti, lighting by Paige Seber, sound by Lawrence Schober, and casting by Pearson Casting CDG.
