I saw it a few weeks back and LOVED it. It doesn’t necessarily attack Celine personally, more her mannerisms - there is nothing about her person which is even mentioned. It’s more Celine telling her version of the titanic as if she were there. It’ll land very well here and have a huge cult following - I can’t wait!

if Marla doesn't come over to do it, I can't lie that I'd love to see Christina Bianco! Christina would be amazing!

I think a 500-600 seater would enable it to make money like the Criterion, DoY, Trafalgar and at a push @sohoplace

This is the worst kind of press release - I kind of feel like if you don't have a venue, any cast members or a booking date, it's not really worth talking about yet. We've all got plans for a West End run at some point, just sometimes they're more possible than others...

The director, Tye, has referred to a "brand new British company" of Titanique which doesn't sound promising for Marla or Constantine to reprise their roles.

I would pay up to 50 British pounds Stirling to see this in an intimate London setting with Cinzano Bianco…

(Any Vermouth was my tipple of choice at home as a student…I think that fortified wines are quite big with the alcoholic community).

We've all got plans for a West End run at some point, just sometimes they're more possible than others... Agreed. This does my head in and actually takes more away from the actual announcement in time. This does nothing for the show. If you can’t do something where people can actively react straight away and book tickets then it’s not even news.

It might well be that they’re trying to demonstrate interest to potential backers/producers in order to get it over the line or into a bigger house. By announcing the news, they generate a bit of buzz, which in turn (potentially) proves it’s a project with a waiting audience and therefore worth backing.

I like your thought process, but I doubt very much that seeing a few reactionary comments on Facebook posts, or reading this thread will make any difference.

I don’t know you no… feel they have a point very strange to give announcements with no detail! Hope it makes its way asap, heard great things

Erm, this has a theatre booked, and is fully financed. So…..
It’s called a marketing strategy.

I really thought it had been announced before it was going to the Arts.

The clip WOS posted on their YouTube wasn't great. Seemed a lot of shouting and singing over eachother.

I was interested as a potential for our NYC visit, but the more clips I watched, coupled with hearing that it wouldn’t be long til its London bow (back in late March) made us rethink. It looks like a cool way to spend 90 minutes if enough alcohol has been consumed and theres nothing better to see. Its still just another tribute show, albeit with interesting stuff going on in the foreground.

It’s a really bonkers show. Loud, brash and in your face, and really stupid (in a good way). In terms of comedy style the most closely I can compare it to would be Police Cops

Hopefully this will go somewhere like the Leicester Square theatre.

As Michael Harrison is producing, it will surely end up in a decent West End theatre.

Probably not, but then that's only going to be about 52 adults and a goat.
