Where would we be without the work of Celine Dion? As a performer, she has given us so many iconic songs, dare I say anthems, which will go on in our hearts for generations to come! And of course, she was also present on the Titanic on its maiden voyage, right? That’s right, Titanique, the Off-Broadway musical, places the singer smack dab in the middle of a significant world event, inserting herself into James Cameron’s film and between Jack and Rose! This hilarious show has so many narrative layers, providing audiences with so many storylines and tidbits to enjoy!

In this episode of the Box Seat Babes Podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko share their thoughts on the narrative thread that spans Titanique. While this show is one part retelling of the classic film, Titanique weaves additional narratives that heighten the meta-ness of the show as well as the humor. How exactly was Celine Dion brought onto the ship and into the fold of the film Titanic? How much does the story change once the Queen of Power Ballads finds herself amongst the crew of the doomed ship? With a frenetic energy that has to be seen to fully comprehend, Titanique is theater at its finest and funniest, making it a must for all theater lovers, if and when they get the chance!
