The Broadway cast includes Marla Mindelle as Céline Dion, Jim Parsons as Ruth DeWitt Bukater, Melissa Barrera as Rose DeWitt Bukater, Deborah Cox as Molly Brown , Frankie Grande as Victor Garber , Constantine Rousouli as Jack Dawson, John Riddle as Cal Hockley, and Layton Williams as The Iceberg.

The show is powered by the songs of the pop icon, including “My Heart Will Go On,” “All By Myself”, and “To Love You More." The show saw a record-breaking three-year Off-Broadway run through 2025, and an Olivier Award-winning production still playing in London’s West End.

Off-Broadway, Titanique won seven major awards, including the Lucille Lortel Award and Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best New Musical, a Las Culturistas Culture Award, and the Lortel Award for Outstanding Lead Performer for Marla Mindelle .

Stranger Things: The First Shadow

After helping launch TITANIQUE in its scrappy downtown beginnings, John Riddle has returned to Broadway as Cal, bringing swagger, sincerity, and sequined villainy to one of the musical’s most unexpectedly lovable characters.

Last night, the company of Titanique celebrated their four Tony nominations. See photos of Marla Mindelle, Frankie Grande, and more from the cast celebrating.

Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers joined the cast of Titaníque during their curtain call to celebrate their four Tony nominations. Watch a video of the 'Las Culturistas' hosts speaking after the performance, congratulating the company on their nominations.
