Titanique to end its N.Y.C. run June 29, with original stars Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli returning
The Olivier Award-winning musical features Céline Dion songs and spoofs the 1997 film, Titanic
Tickets for the final weeks of shows are now on sale
Titanique is sailing away from New York City, but not before welcoming back two very special passengers.
The Off-Broadway hit, which parodies the 1997 Oscar-winning blockbuster Titanic, is wrapping up its run at the Daryl Roth Theatre in Union Square on June 29. And beginning Tuesday, June 3, O.G. stars (and Titanique co-creators) Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli will return to the musical, reprising the roles they originated.
Their return comes after the pair (alongside Titanique‘s co-creator and director, Tye Blue) became Olivier Award-winners when Titanique took home two awards at the 2025 ceremony, including Best New Comedy. The musical opened to rave reviews back in January at The Criterion Theatre in the West End.

Of course, Mindelle, Rousouli, and Blue aren’t strangers to awards. Its original Off-Broadway production — which opened in June 2022 at the Asylum Theater, before moving to its current home in November 2022 — won seven major awards in the 2022-23 theater season, including the Lucille Lortel Award and Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best New Musical.
Productions have also popped up in Australia (at The Grand Electric in Sydney), Canada (at both the Segal Centre in Montréal and Toronto’s CAA Theatre), Chicago (at the Broadway Playhouse) and Paris (at the Lido Theatre).

Titanique imagines what would happen if legendary singer Céline Dion (Mindelle) told the story of Titanic, as if she were a passenger aboard the 1912 ocean liner alongside the infamous ill-fated lovers Jack Dawson (Rousouli) and Rose Dewitt Bukater (currently played by Grammy nominee and winner of NBC’s The Voice Cassadee Pope).
A catalogue of Dion’s hits like “Taking Chances,” “The Prayer,” “Tell Him,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “I Drove All Night,” “To Love You More,” “A New Day Has Come,” “All By Myself,” “Because You Loved Me” — and yes, “My Heart Will Go On” — are used to score the story.
“Never in our wildest (ship of) dreams, did we expect this scrappy, fever dream of a musical would rise from the basement of a Gristedes to an award-winning three-year run at the legendary Daryl Roth Theatre,” Blue said in a statement. “We’re so grateful to the hundreds of artists who have been a part of this surreal voyage – bringing our joyful Celine slayfest from New York to six stages around the world. We look forward to laughing, singing, and sashaying with our incredible fans for ten final weeks, before we say ‘au revoir, girlfriends!’ ”
