Producers Eva Price and Michael Harrison said: “We’re overjoyed to see this production come to life in the UK, and thrilled to have brought together this dream team to launch our West End season. When we first set out to cast Titanique, we knew we needed an ensemble that could bring the perfect mix of humour, heart, and talent to this wildly fun show. We can’t wait to welcome them all aboard the ship in London and for audiences to experience the star power this cast will bring to our story.”

The rest of the creative team includes Ellenore Scott (director), Nicholas James Connell (music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations), Gabriel Hainer Evansohn and Grace Lauchbacher (scenic design), Alejo Vietti (costume design), Paige Seber (lighting design), and Lawrence Schober (sound design).
