Titanique to embark on first UK tour, with initial casting revealed

Titanique will embark on its first ever UK tour next year.

The Olivier Award-winning musical comedy will tour following the conclusion of its West End run at the Criterion Theatre.

The tour will open at Theatre Royal Newcastle on 17 September 2027, with Myra DuBois set to star as Ruth. Further tour dates and casting will be announced in due course.

DuBois is currently playing Ruth in the London production and will continue in the role until 8 November. William Hanson will then return to the West End as Ruth from 10 November until the production closes.

DuBois said: “I’ve adored playing Ruth in the West End, how thrilling to get to spend a few more months with her around the country in this screamingly hilarious show!”

Producers Eva Price and Michael Harrison said: “It has been such a thrill to bring Titanique to the West End and share this gloriously outrageous show with London audiences. We’ve had an incredible time making waves in the West End, and we couldn’t be more excited to now take our Olivier Award winning show on the road. And what better way to do it than with the incomparable Myra DuBois joining us for the tour? We are absolutely thrilled to welcome her aboard and cannot wait for audiences across the country to experience the uniquely fabulous world of Titanique.”

Titanique opened at the Criterion Theatre in January 2025, following its Off-Broadway premiere in 2022. The production won two Olivier Awards, including Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play, as well as Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical for Layton Williams. It has also played internationally, including runs in Paris, Sydney, Montreal and Toronto, and made its Broadway debut in March 2026.

Written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli, Titanique takes the story of Titanic and sets it to songs by Céline Dion, including “My Heart Will Go On”, “All by Myself” and “To Love You More”.

The production is directed by Tye Blue and choreographed by Ellenore Scott, with music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Nicholas James Connell. Scenic design is by Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Lauchbacher for Iron Bloom Creative Production, costume design is by Alejo Vietti, lighting design is by Paige Seber and sound design is by Lawrence Schober. Casting is by Pearson Casting and Richard Johnston.

The show will also wrap up its West End run in January.
