Good News: Celine Dion Reveals She Wants To Set Her Final Stage Performance Before Waving Bye To Music – See Date…
Ahoy, Sydney! Ready to set sail on a journey that’s more fabulous than a Celine Dion power ballad and gayer than a rainbow at Mardi Gras? Get ready to board the world’s most iconic ship, as Titanique makes its Australian debut this September at The Grand Electric!
This isn’t just a musical; it’s a queer fever dream you never knew you needed!
Titanique is a hilarious and campy parody of the classic film Titanic, reimagined through the lens of Celine Dion‘s greatest hits.
Imagine Celine herself hijacking a Titanic Museum tour, spinning an outrageous yarn about what *really* happened to Jack and Rose, all the while belting out her iconic tunes.
This isn’t just a show; it’s “a love letter to Celine“, filled with powerhouse vocals, show-stopping numbers, and more pop culture references than you can shake a glittery life preserver at!
The masterminds behind this theatrical spectacle are Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli, who co-wrote the show alongside director Tye Blue, of RuPaul’s Drag Race fame.
Together, they’ve crafted a musical that’s been described as an “irresistibly funny and irreverent send-up” that has left audiences in stitches.
Titanique has already been making waves across the pond, extending its run multiple times in New York and drawing a star-studded crowd including Ariana Grande, Neil Patrick Harris, Alanis Morissette, and Melissa McCarthy.
The Las Culturistas Podcast hosts, Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, even gave it their official stamp of approval, declaring it “the funniest shit [they’ve] ever seen”.
The Australian cast has finally been announced!
And now, finally – it’s Australia’s turn! The stunning Aussie cast for the “nautical fantasia’ extravaganza has finally been announced.

So, what can you expect when you come aboard the Titanique?
Prepare for a night of pure, unabashed escapism, with Celine Dion‘s music making sweet Canadian love to one of the greatest love stories ever told.
From My Heart Will Go On to All By Myself, the musical numbers are as iconic as Ms. Dion’s infamous high notes.
Plus, there’s plenty of contemporary pop culture winks and nods, all wrapped up in a package that’s as camp as Bob Downe’s wig.
Titanique promises to “melt your troubles away” and leave you laughing your iceberg off.
