Constantine Rousouli Docks on Broadway With ‘Titaníque’
Jim Parsons joins a Broadway transfer that turns the Titanic story into a 90-minute parody packed with Celine Dion songs and pop-culture jokes.
- On April 12, 2026, the musical parody Titanique opened on Broadway at the St. James Theatre, starring Marla Mindelle as Celine Dion and Constantine Rousouli as Jack Dawson.
- Created by Rousouli, Mindelle, and director Tye Blue, the cult hit originated in Los Angeles in 2017 before spending five years Off-Broadway, building devoted fans.
- New Broadway ensemble members include Jim Parsons as Ruth and Deborah Cox as Molly Brown in the 100-minute production reimagining the 1997 film Titanic through Dion's discography.
- Its Broadway arrival follows a post-pandemic season where numerous new musicals failed, allowing Titanique to secure the St. James Theatre after The Queen of Versailles closed early.
- Dedicated fans called 'TiStaniques' have supported the show since its downtown days, while Rousouli aims to 'spread joy, spread love, spread laughter' during the current Tonys eligibility season.

'Titanique' review: Silly, stupid, and absolutely sensational
I confess, I walked into the St. James theater, where I'd watched the swiftly curtained Queen of Versailles, with trepidation. I'd seen Titanique Off-Broadway and was absolutely enchanted by its madcap comedy, giddy pop cultural references, bawdy jokes, and drag show interpretations of Céline Dion, Tina Turner, and Frances Fisher. But I've seen high-energy, low-budget Off-Broadway shows lose their verve in a prestigious Broadway venue. (RIP, Dea…
