If you thought panto season was over, you’d be wrong. There’s camp, and then there’s the ridiculously flamboyant off-Broadway smash hit Titanique, which has sailed into London for 2025, docking at The Criterion Theatre this week.
It’s as if the show’s writers collectively agreed “we’re going to give the gays everything they want” – which of course we’re totally on board with.
The concept itself is ludicrous in its own right: this is absolutely not a documentary-style retelling of the Titanic disaster.
Instead, it’s a pastiche of the film, told from the perspective of Celine Dion, who was, for some reason, on board the Titanic during its voyage and is still alive today to tell the tale (suspend your disbelief).
