Titanic, Charing Cross Theatre / 2023 UK Tour

Don't agree. This cast is super! Doesn't need a famous name just because.
I want this cast to be there for a hopefully next revival, as for quite some of them it's already their third time doing titanic, but they still seem so fresh! (e.g Victoria Serra playing Kate is so moving, and she hits every emotion and depth in her character to the fullest)

I too don't think it needs star names, it's a pure ensemble piece - there is no star bow at the end, all the cast are equal - not saying a 'star' wouldn't fit to that ethos - there was a big crowd waiting for Niall do a star in stagey circles is in it currently!!

I would say it need to remain the chamber piece version - it doesn't ever need to go back to a big cast, the multiple roles really adds to the theatrical experience and the strong vocals in this cast it sounded like a chorus of 40!!

Also keep the set simple like it is now, sometimes less really is more.

It's just wonderful, I hope to see it soon (would travel to see it)

Sail on.......

I wouldn't change anything either. But, the leap to viability on tour or West End is potentially a tricky one.

Hoping for more, but at the very least film this cast.

Listening to the Broadway cast recording, I noticing that the 2nd class eloping couple (green grocers son) duet is missing??

If I'm listening right was this added when it became a 'chamber piece'?

Found it, in 'New Moon' for some reason I thought it was earlier in the act...wow this is such w good song, so much going on and foreboding

I just located it, it's within the number 'New Moon'

God, yes, it was boiling in there tonight, wasn't it! (and someone used my TodayTix code tonight, if that was you skildpadde, thank you)

I really enjoyed it. I think it's a good ensemble piece - interestingly, and unusually for me at least, I found the ensemble numbers much stronger than the solo/duet songs. Partly the volume and the excellent harmonies, which create a real wall of noise, but also I think those songs are more striking and memorable. The show's strength is in its ensemble cast, but that's also its weakness too, in that it means we only get a shallow amount of characterisation on a lot of the characters, which has the result that the songs (particularly the love duets between the various couples) fell rather flat for me.

My favourite part was the scene where they manhandle the women into the lifeboats - I thought that was exceptionally well done, in the music, the acting and the staging.

All three times I saw it (including yesterday) she sang. I really like her voice, very characterful.

Love, love the show and really hoping they can get a tour up - this needs to be seen by the masses!! Even though I am in Cornwall, I have talked about a dozen folk to go and see the production and all have loved it. How about Dress Circle getting in touch with the producers for a cast album? They did some of their own label CD's before?? May ease the cost and D/C could promote it??

If any of you new fans of the show want to know more about the making of the original Broadway production, you really should check out 'Titanic - The complete book of the musical' It has the story about how the show was put together, what worked, what didnt, what was cut in previews, hundreds of pictures and designs, and then the complete libretto of the show.

The original set was done using different perspectives. My favourite of these was at the end of act 1. No Moon was done using a tierd set, showing the different levels of decks, and then the whole set rose to give a final perspective of the ship itself. I believe it was cut during previews. The reveal is at 5mins. It gets a big reaction!

I was also there tonight... we really need badges, for all we know we have sat by each other haha! Firstly, I am glad I am not the only one who noticed the heat, I felt like I was gonna melt!

The show was stunning, pretty close to perfect, incredible. the cast were amazing, especially with their changing every 5 or so minutes. The score was great I thought the way the sinking was done was inventive and the final plunge was stunning!

From the minute the lifeboat was going, I cried and didn't stop. One of the most moving moments for me came from the young bellboy (who was also my personal highlight!). When he said he was only 14 I burst into tears at the thought of his demise. In the final scene where they said the amount of people lost etc, I couldn't help but reflect not only on the cast but also the real history, which made it even more heartbreaking. And that final song, chills and overwhelmed like I have never been in the theatre, to a point where I was still crying on the way out. I cant remember ever being so in awe and overwhelmed in the theatre, I was just incredible.

I so hope there is life for this show after this run, it so deserves it! If you can, grab a ticket or you will seriously regret it!

I was in E8 - I would probably rather have been a couple of rows further back. You aren't too close there, and at least it's raked, but with a lot happening on different levels, there was a lot of looking up.
