Videos: The Cast of Titaníque on Broadway Perform ‘My Heart Will Go On’ and ‘To Love You More’
- 521 words
Near, far, wherever you are, now you can watch Marla Mindelle—uh, we mean, Céline Dion—perform “My Heart Will Go On” in the Broadway bow of Titaníque. Watch the video above. And below, see the show’s Rose and Jack, Melissa Barrera and Constantine Rousouli, perform “To Love You More.”
The production officially opened at the St. James Theatre April 12 after beginning previews March 26. Tye Blue is at the helm.
The musical, a campy send-up of the blockbuster 1997 film Titanic set to the songs of Céline Dion, comes to the Main Stem after becoming a cult favorite Off-Broadway. The work features a book by Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli, and Tye Blue, and music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Nicholas James Connell.
Titaníque is currently nominated for four Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Lead Actress in a Musical (for Mindelle), and Featured Actor in a Musical (for Layton Williams).
The musical began as a one-night-only concert in Los Angeles in 2017, coming to New York’s Green Room 42 the following year before becoming a fully staged Off-Broadway musical in 2022. Originally intended to be a limited run, the production became a surprise smash hit, transferring to the Daryl Roth Theatre for a three-year run that ended last year. Since its premiere, the musical has spawned stagings in Australia, Canada, London’s West End, Chicago, and Paris.
Reprising their work on Broadway, Frankie Grande (Rock of Ages) as Victor Garber, Rousouli (Wicked) as Jack Dawson, and John Riddle (Frozen) as Cal Hockley, now joined by Jim Parsons (Mother Play) as Ruth Dewitt Bukater, Deborah Cox (The Wiz) as Unsinkable Molly Brown, Melissa Barrera (In the Heights) as Rose Dewitt Bukater, and Layton Williams (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie) as The Iceberg. Williams is reprising his Olivier-winning work from the musical’s recent London premiere. Background vocalists Sara Gallo (1776), Polanco Jones (The Wiz), and Kristina Leopod (SIX) as well as understudies Tess Marshall (Titaníque), Brad Greer (Titaníque), and Kyle Ramar Freeman (The Wiz) round out the company. Casting is by The Telsey Company’s Rachel Hoffman.
The original creative team has also largely reassembled for the Broadway bow, including director Blue; choreographer Ellenore Scott; music supervisor, arranger, and orchestrator Connell; scenic designer Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Laubacher for Iron Bloom Creative Production; costume designer Alejo Vietti; lighting designer Paige Seber; sound designer Lawrence Schober; and hair and wig designer Charles G. LaPointe. Rick Steiger is the production stage manager, and ShowTown Theatricals serves as general managers. Geoffrey Ko is the music director.
Eva Price leads the producing team.
