Co-written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli and directed by Tye Blye, Titanique is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the award-winning film Titanic, retold with a cheeky spin by Celine Dion, and filled with hits like My Heart Will Go On, All by Myself and To Love You More, all backed by a sensational live band. In addition to winning the 2025 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, Titanique won seven major awards during the 2022/23 theatre season, including three Lucille Lortel Awards, the Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best New Musical, Las Culturistas’ Culture Award for Best Indoor Performance and two Dorian Awards.
Self-declared South Yorkshire Siren Myra DuBois is set to board the ship of dreams and star as Ruth for 6 weeks from 1 September to 11 October 2026. Prior to that, William Hanson will extend his current run to Sunday 26 July due to popular demand and Stephen Guarino, who originated the role of Ruth in the West End, returns for 5 weeks from 28 July to 30 August 2026.
Myra DuBois is a multi-award-winning comedian, singer and actress. She reached the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent and her screen credits include the feature film Everybody's Talking About Jamie and ITV1's Queens For The Night, on which she was the winning mentor. Her theatre work includes Death Drop at the Garrick Theatre.
William Hanson is an etiquette coach and co-host of award-winning podcast ‘Help I Sexted My Boss’, which has over 100 million streams. He is the author of five books, including the Sunday Times bestseller Just Good Manners, and in 2025, he completed his first solo tour, Solitary Refinement.
Stephen Guarino is a three-time Emmy-nominated American actor and comedian. His television credits include Happy Endings, I'm Dying Up Here and EastSiders. He is also the creator of the Off-Broadway cult hit improvised musical The Nuclear Family.
They join shipmates Lewis Francis as The Iceberg, Rose Galbraith as Rose, Astrid Harris as Céline Dion, Freddie King as Jack, Cameron Vear as Cal, Michael Vinsen as Victor Garber / Luigi and Nikki Wheeldon as Molly Brown; with AJ Lewis, Joi Lurrie and Corrine Priest as on-stage background vocalists. Finton Flynn, Josh Lovell and Charlotte Soo complete the cast as offstage understudies.
Further casting for Ruth from 11 October is to be announced.
Titanique is playing at the Criterion Theatre until 30 August 2026.
