TITANIC THE MUSICAL to set sail on 10th anniversary UK tour in March 2023
The Tony Award-winning Titanic The Musical is to embark on a new UK tour from March 2023.
The production will open at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley on 16 March 2023, 10 years since it made its critically acclaimed debut at Southwark Playhouse in London.
Following Bromley, the tour will then go on to Newcastle, Belfast, Southampton, Birmingham, Norwich, Cardiff, Nottingham, Wycombe, Hull, Edinburgh, Dartford, Salford and Sheffield in July 2023 – with further tour dates to be announced.
Producer Danielle Tarento said: “Steven, Vaughan and I are so excited that the great ship Titanic is setting sail on a new UK Tour. I can’t believe that it’s been 10 years since that first production at Southwark Playhouse - it feels like a lifetime ago and only just the other day in equal measure! After the couple of years that we’ve all lived through, to be able to mark this anniversary by revisiting some favourite venues from the last tour and also bringing the show to some new ones feels especially joyful.”
Based on real people aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic The Musical is a stunning and stirring production focusing on the hopes, dreams and aspirations of her passengers who each boarded with stories and personal ambitions of their own. All innocently unaware of the fate awaiting them, the Third Class immigrants’ dream of a better life in America, the Second Class imagine they too can join the lifestyles of the rich and famous, whilst the millionaire Barons of the First Class anticipate legacies lasting forever.
With music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and a book by Peter Stone, the production is directed by Thom Southerland, with set and costume designer by David Woodhead, lighting by Howard Hudson, sound by Andrew Johnson, musical staging by Cressida Carré and new musical arrangements by Ian Weinberger.
Casting is to be announced at a later date.
