If they know what's damn good for them the premium seats will be 27 dollars. We won't be fooled again.

AS much as I did enjoy the show, I can't help but feel any investments are nothing but tax write-offs.

I must confess, I'm not at all familiar with this show. I just remember during previews they were having trouble, um, sinking.
Would an Ariane Mnouchkine approach work?

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

Aww, I love this score. Count me as one of the excited ones.

Though I don't think it'll ever be a big commercial hit.

Isn't the upcoming concert enough?

Not a fan. I almost walked out of the show on Broadway. I don't understand the love for it. It was like watching paint dry. I enjoyed the choral singing, and that was it. Nothing else.

Just read the casting breakdown for this revival. They are planning on doubling up a lot of roles, even amongst some of the larger principals. I guess to get a small cast?

Thomas Andrews

Harold Bride/John B. Thayer/3rd Class Passenger
Frederick Fleet/Frank Carlson/George Widener/3rd Class Passenger
Captain Edward Smith
Bruce Ismay
Charles Clarke/Porter
Edgar Beane/Joseph Boxhall/3rd Class Passenger
Isidor Straus/Robert Hichens/3rd Class Passenger
Jim Farrell/Andrew Latimer/Porter/1st Class Passenger/Joseph Bell (Chief Engineer)
Henry Etches/Herbert Pitman
William Murdoch
Charles Lightoller/J.J. Astor
Bellboy (male)/Wallace Hartley, Waiter in 1st and 3rd Class, Stoker
Alice Beane/3rd class passenger (one of the things in her breakdown is "not an Ethel Merman belter")
Caroline Neville/ Stewardess/Maid / Mme. Aubert
Kate McGowan/Charlotte Drake/Cardoza / Stewardess Maid/3rd Class Passenger ("celtic mezzo")
Kate Murphey/Lead Dancer/Eleanor Widener/Stewardess/3rd Class Passenger

Some of that doubling up will make for some awfully fast (and possibly ridiculous) quick changes. Especially during the opening sequence.

I guess that casting breakdown gives new meaning to the lyric "First class, and third, and second will mean nothing."

I did a 90min version of the show last summer. It was done in a small theater with just piano/cello and it was beautifully directed. They had some doubling, but basically they kept all the hits and got rid of the minor songs. It actually worked really well. It wasn't as "epic" as you'd expect Titanic to be, but I think it worked.

Has anyone heard any news on this production? It's just about 2 months until the Toronto production is supposed to premiere and there's been nothing about the cast and tickets are yet to go on sale outside of subscriptions.

'Historically, Titanic has had trouble making it past on Canada on its way to NYC....'

Penny just dropped on what you meant, that's excellent.

Even with all that doubling, that is still quite a large cast.

They go into rehearsal in 3 weeks. Should have a casting announcement soon.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

The sets from the original were the worst part of the show. Projections would be a major improvement.

If Titanic makes it to New York doesn't that fundamentally change the story?
