Titanic, Charing Cross Theatre / 2023 UK Tour

Have my mother coming up on Tuesday and have the afternoon off so have booked the matinee and not telling her what show we are seeing (not even sure she knows this is on and there is a musical about Titanic' but I really think it's going to be a real treat for me mam!!

I had tears streaming down my face throughout Act 2 - the last time that happened was the live cinema recording of 'Billy Elliot'!

Think I will get ahold of a ticket for the final week. I have been meaning too but I kept forgetting it was on until now and I didn't realise it was ending next week!

Despite being almost sold out for most performances this week, there are LOTS of tickets available for next week, including some discounts on decent seats on TodayTix.

It looks like I might be seeing it twice next week. Just booked some on TodayTix. Had to use two phones as I didn't want the first set of tickets it offered me.

(My TT referral code is ORWWY )

Ahhhh perfect! Well since you guys are putting your codes haha; mine is AOITD

Mine was the seats that would normally be £29.50, down to £22, rather than the 'offer' they keep promoting of £39.50 down to £29.50, which, as you say, are nothing of the sort.

I have taken the afternoon off and taking my mother, another forum member in the audience!!!

Just wow...took my mother to the matinee today (afternoon off) and it flawed even more than last week!!

Let's just say I had tears from Act 1...wow what a full matinee (this being a extra one they put in for the last week) really surprising mixed audience and close to full - standing ovation immediately at the end...if ever I have wanted to see a show transfer with this cast then this is the one...it's a stunning piece, wonderfully staged, beautiful score and the cast all work their socks and hearts off playing multiple roles....I would adore a cast recording with this talented cast!!

Oh at the end I was practallty stage door(ing) by error whilst waiting for mother to come back from the loo, I was standing by the door they all need to come out of!! When we come up there was a big crowd all waiting for Niall...was quite a mid-week stagey lot in at the performance...if I wasn't in Devon this weekend I would try be there for closing night!!

Sail on

I was also at today's matinee. Agreed! Superb staging with a spot-on cast. Great voices. The awkward Theatre space really worked (and was worked) for this. The art deco odd balconies felt part of the stage design when house lights were up.

The musical is perhaps necessarily heavy on 'this is who I am' songs in Act 1 as there's really nothing much that can happen on the ship - til it hits the iceberg. But there are so many good ones (and a few a bit facile lyric wise). But, it's a really fine show deserving a transfer.

Just shows its been the naff programming that has lowered the esteem of this venue, not the space itself. Thom Southerland's involvement is a great move.

If it did transfer or there was a new production in a couple of years, what would you add/take away?

I went last night and was surprised about how much I enjoyed it. It took me a few minutes to get into it, but it really grew on me. I particularly liked Barrett and Bride's duet.

I spent my morning at work convincing my colleagues to go see it before it closes, it really is the kind of production that sticks with you.
