Official: TITANIQUE to dock at the St. James, March 2026 (16 Weeks Only) — Page 3

I wonder if having the Broadway credit gives them some more legitimacy for song rights. Marla has said on a podcast that since theaters don’t do ASCAP licenses, a lot of the Celine songs they originally planned for had to be replaced. “All Coming Back To Me Now” and “That’s The Way It Is” being a couple, since they are in “Bat out of Hell” and “& Juliet” respectively.

On the other hand, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Two beaches women will make a run for it. Not sure who makes the cut - Lost Boys as well.

Depending on the rest of the casting, it could easily get nominations for:

• Best Musical
• Best Book
• Best Direction of a Musical
• Best Actress in a Musical
• Best Featured Actor in a Musical
• Best Featured Actress in a Musical

And in this, or any other season, it would be worthy of some wins; not just because this is a particularly weak year for musicals."

Featured Actor and Actress are already looking like they will be stacked this year. Marla has an easy in to Leading, but between Cats, Rocky Horror, and Chess, Titanique would need some blockbuster casting to break in there.

I already think that Featured Actor is Andréde Shields’ to lose…"

Beaches is coming in and announcing tomorrow (taking the Majestic instead of Purple Rain) so adjust accordingly...

Why must it be 16 weeks only, more like Illinoise?

If a some shows can't raise their money...will the theater owners get stuck writing checks for the shows they selected?

Other than moving from a small theater to a large one, these situations have nothing in common.

Tammy Faye had a 7-week run at the Almeida. Titanique ran for almost 3 years Off-Broadway and has played in London, Paris, Chicago, Montreal and Sydney. Tammy Faye Bakker has nowhere near the cultural relevancy of Celine Dion or Titanic.

I doubt they will want more time before going out on tour. Illinoise was brilliant in all ways a show can be though, so it's a bit different. Can't wait to see the huge celebrities they put into this to make it sell because Marla Mindelle, despite her being incredibly funny and talented. won't be selling tons of tickets.

The very thought of it coming to Broadway is ludicrus. But now that it's apparently a reality, I'm all in! They're guaranteed a Best Musical nomination, and can you imagine how fabulous they'll be on the Tonys?!

Is this just going to be a replica of the off broadway production or do we think they'll spruce it up a bit more? I know the Chicago production wasn't a direct replica.

Exactly. It was cheap and the showtimes were unique, that was the selling point for me. If they spend a lot of money on it and cast a celebrity, I guess it won't be a complete failure?

1710 seats. Eight times a week. Good luck tho.

Has Celine ever talked about this show publicly? I know she has been dealing with her health problems, so this may be the least of her worries. I can't imagine she would want this show licensed to regional groups or high schools at this point, as her career is not over yet, and I imagine she might have another tour in her eventually. I think she has a sense of humor about herself, so in general she would think the show is funny, as I did seeing it in the supermarket basement of its first venue. I don't even know if has any rights to her music, as she is not a song writer on most of the songs, so it may not even be her call, in regards to its future incarnations.

I hope it doesn’t cost more than $250k a week to run!
