The five-star theatrical spectacle Titanic The Musical is at Blackpool Grand Theatre for just ONE WEEK ONLY from Tuesday 21 to Saturday 25 March 2023. This is a musical masterpiece that’s not to be missed!

Presented by Danielle Tarento in association with Mayflower Theatre, Southampton, Harmonia, Bruce Robert Harris and Jack W Batman, the production will open at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley on 16 March 2023, 10 years since it made its critically acclaimed debut at Southwark Playhouse in London.

Producer Danielle Tarento said ‘We are so excited to have our brilliant new cast together to begin rehearsals for this 10th anniversary production. After the couple of years that we’ve all lived through, to be able to mark this anniversary by revisiting some favourite venues from the last tour and also bringing the show to some wonderful new ones feels especially joyful’.

 

In the final hours of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic, collided with an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York and 'the unsinkable ship' slowly sank to the depths of the ocean. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the 20th Century as 1,517 men, women and children lost their lives.

Based on real people who were aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic The Musical is a truly breathtaking production focusing on the hopes, dreams and aspirations of her passengers, each of whom boarded with fascinating stories and personal ambitions of their own.

The Third Class immigrants dreamed of a better life in America, the Second Class passengers imagined they too could join the lifestyles of the rich and famous, whilst the millionaire Barons of the First Class cabins anticipated legacies lasting forever. All were innocently unaware of the unimaginable fate awaiting them…

The original Broadway production of Titanic The Musical, with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book by Peter Stone, scooped five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.

This spectacular production celebrates the 10th anniversary of the London premiere, which also opened to rave reviews, and brings a truly amazing evening of live theatre to The Grand.

With music and lyrics by Maury Yeston (Nine, Grand Hotel) and a book by Peter Stone (Woman of the Year and 1776), the pair have collectively won an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, an Olivier Award and three Tony awards.

The original Broadway production of Titanic The Musical won five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. This new production celebrates the 10th anniversary of its London premiere where it won sweeping critical acclaim across the board.
