Titanique is setting sail on its first-ever UK tour in 2027, with Myra DuBois starring as Ruth as the Olivier Award-winning musical comedy heads out on the road following its hit West End run.
The gloriously unhinged Céline Dion musical comedy will launch its Titanique UK Tour at Newcastle Theatre Royal on 17 September 2027, where it will play until 25 September, before continuing its voyage around the country.
Further UK tour dates and casting are set to be announced.
Titanique heads out on its first UK tour
The tour follows Titanique’s hugely successful West End residency at London’s Criterion Theatre, which will play its final performance on 3 January 2027.
Since arriving in the West End in January 2025, the musical has become one of London’s most talked-about comedy shows, picking up two Olivier Awards, including Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play and Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical for Layton Williams.
Now audiences outside London will finally get the chance to climb aboard.
Comedian and drag performer Myra DuBois will star as Ruth on the UK tour, having already taken on the role in the West End production.
What is Titanique about?
Think you know the story of Titanic? Think again.
Titanique takes James Cameron’s blockbuster romance and asks one very important question: what if Céline Dion was actually there?
The musical sees Céline commandeer a Titanic museum tour and retell the story of Jack and Rose in her own unmistakable way, transforming the famous disaster movie into a riotous musical comedy packed with pop-culture references, outrageous humour and powerhouse vocals.
And, naturally, there are plenty of Céline Dion hits along the way.
Audiences can expect songs including My Heart Will Go On, All By Myself and To Love You More, performed with a live band.
The show was created by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli, with Blue also directing.
When does the Titanique UK tour start?
The first confirmed dates for the Titanique UK Tour 2027 are:
Newcastle Theatre Royal – 17 to 25 September 2027
Performances at Newcastle Theatre Royal will take place at 7.30pm, with selected 3pm matinees.
The production has confirmed that Newcastle will be the opening destination on Titanique’s first UK tour, with more venues and tour dates to be announced.
Myra DuBois joins Titanique on tour
Myra DuBois will take Ruth on the road after playing the role during Titanique’s West End run.
The character has attracted some suitably fabulous performers in London, with etiquette expert William Hanson returning to play Ruth for the final eight weeks of the Criterion Theatre run, from 10 November 2026 until the show’s closing performance on 3 January 2027.
Full casting for the UK touring production has yet to be announced.
Titanique’s West End success
Titanique’s journey to its first UK tour follows an impressive rise for the musical comedy.
After building a cult following in New York, the production crossed the Atlantic and opened at the Criterion Theatre in London’s West End in January 2025.
It went on to receive three Olivier Award nominations and won two awards, including Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play, while Layton Williams won Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical for his performance as The Iceberg.
Yes, the iceberg is a character.
That probably tells you everything you need to know about the wonderfully ridiculous world of Titanique.
