One Year Anniversary | TITANIQUE
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — The first time I saw “Titanique” in 2022 on 26th Street, star Marla Mindelle ended the show by saying, “Thank you so much for coming to see ‘Titanique’… in the basement of a shut-down Gristedes.”I was smitten early on. But little did I know that barely three years later, I’d also attend its 1,000th performance at the Daryl Roth Theatre, its West End bow in London and its debut down under in Sydney. I have so many of their signature sailor hats, I could start a navy.
It’s hard to think of another off-Broadway entity since “Blue Man Group” in 1991 that’s had such cross-cultural success. And, being a comedy, the feat is all the more impressive. Americans, Brits and Aussies all have proudly unique senses of humor. Boffo comedies from the US often tank overseas.Yet the deranged “Titanique,” which imagines that Celine Dion was actually onboard the Titanic and is 150 years old, plays like gangbusters wherever it sails.
But, at its core, this is the same hysterical show that New York crowds are watching eight times a week 10,000 miles away, only with a welcome Aussie wink. And, miraculously, even more camp than usual.
