We know, you still aren't over Leonardo DiCaprio slipping into the cold ocean in the film TITANIC. Yes we know, there was totally enough room on the plank of wood, but if you can swallow your trust issues and travel to Toronto you won't want to miss the re-imagined production of TITANIC: THE MUSICAL.
