About Titanique

Titanique is a relentlessly camp, wildly hilarious musical parody that takes the epic 1997 blockbuster film and turns it into a chaotic, pop-fueled voyage hijacked by a fictionalized version of Céline Dion. The irreverent comedy begins when the eccentric pop diva bursts into a Titanic museum tour and captivates the audience by sharing her own wildly inaccurate, heavily dramatized version of what really happened to Jack and Rose on that fateful night.

Driven by a powerhouse cast delivering jaw-dropping vocals, the production completely transforms the historical tragedy into a high-energy celebration of 90s pop culture, packed with over-the-top choreography, sharp adult humor, and a parade of Céline's greatest hits, including "My Heart Will Go On," "All By Myself," and "To Love You More."

How to Get to Criterion Theatre?

Criterion Theatre
218-223 Piccadilly, London, W1V 9LB

This unique, historic venue is famously situated right in the beating heart of London's West End, directly facing the iconic Piccadilly Circus fountain. Because the auditorium is constructed almost entirely underground, it occupies a prime, bustling subterranean location surrounded by the vibrant lights, shopping avenues, and dining spots of central London.

Directions

By Underground
By Bus
By Car

By Underground

Piccadilly Circus station is the closest tube stop and is located literally outside the theatre doors, providing immediate access to the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines.
For an incredibly easy journey, certain station exits lead visitors directly steps away from the main theatre canopy.

By Bus

The venue is exceptionally well-served by London’s bus network, with numerous major routes stopping right around Piccadilly Circus and Regent Street.

Multiple regular day and night buses service these stops, providing seamless public transport connections across the entire city.

By Car

Driving directly to the venue is highly discouraged due to extreme traffic congestion, extensive pedestrian zones, and a complete lack of designated street parking.

The theatre sits entirely within London’s Congestion Charge zone, though drivers can utilize the nearby secure Q-Park Chinatown parking facility on Newport Place.

Criterion Theatre - Facilities and Accessibility

The Criterion Theatre offers essential amenities in a highly unique setting, though visitors must note that its entirely underground construction means it does not feature a public elevator. Concession bars and merchandise kiosks are accessible on the upper levels of the theatre, providing official programs, show souvenirs, snacks, and a selection of hot, cold, and alcoholic beverages before the performance and during the intermission.
Standard restroom facilities are located throughout the subterranean levels, but reaching them requires navigating the venue's historic, narrow staircases. Because moving through the crowded underground corridors can be challenging during the short intermission, theatre staff are available to provide an at-seat service to deliver drinks and snacks directly to patrons who prefer to stay in their seats.
For patrons with specific accessibility requirements, the venue's historic 1874 architecture presents unique challenges, meaning step-free access is heavily restricted. There is no step-free entrance from the street, and all audience members must be able to navigate at least a few steps to enter the building.
The theatre does possess a very limited number of designated spaces for patrons who can transfer from a wheelchair into a standard theatre seat in the Upper Circle, which is the level closest to street level. Because of these strict physical limitations, access guests are strongly urged to contact the theatre’s dedicated accessibility team well in advance of booking to ensure their seating needs can be safely accommodated and to arrange for staff assistance upon arrival.

Interesting Facts About Titanique

The hit parody won the highly coveted Laurence Olivier Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play during its acclaimed West End run.

The brilliant idea for the show was first conceptualized over drinks by co-creators Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli, and Tye Blue.

In its earliest stages, the production was so low-budget that the director maxed out his credit cards and stored all the props in the trunk of his car.

The London production uniquely localizes its script by tossing in hilarious British pop culture nods to things like EastEnders and Gemma Collins.

To keep the show feeling fresh, the actors are encouraged to regularly alter their jokes and improvise a specific scene live on stage every single night.

Dedicated superfans of the musical comedy have seen the production multiple times and officially refer to themselves as “TiStaniques.”

While the real Céline Dion has not yet attended the show, her official manager and publicist have sat in the audience to enjoy the parody.

The character of the Iceberg famously stops the show by performing a spectacular, camp tribute inspired by Tina Turner's iconic "Acid Queen" persona.
