Review: TITANIQUE Hits All the Right Notes (and Icebergs) at Mirvish's CAA Theatre
by Lauren Gienow - Dec 13, 2024

TITANIQUE has finally arrived in Toronto, and the outrageous comedy and fantastic vocals that made quite the splash at Montreal’s Segal Centre last month are now on full display in the biggest theatre this show has been staged in yet. Having caught this Canadian production in Montreal, BWW was intrigued to see this show be performed in Mirvish’s 700-seat CAA theatre. This little show that could, that started as a kooky idea among friends performing at a dinner theatre in Los Angeles, is now an international hit with Rose getting drawn like one of Jack’s French girls to the tune of Celine Dion’s Because You Loved Me 8 times a week in 4 different countries! This Canadian production is stacked with some of the country’s greatest talent, celebrating the incredible music and personality of Canada’s own, Celine Dion. It is also ridiculously funny!
