Jim Parsons, Deborah Cox, Frankie Grande Board ‘Titanique’ on Broadway

Date:

All aboard! Titanique is heading to Broadway — and bringing some familiar faces with it.

The three-year Off-Broadway hit is a parody of the classic film Titanic, imagining the story as if Celine Dion were narrating it. Set to Dion’s songs, including “My Heart Will Go On” and “All by Myself,” the production will star Jim Parsons, Deborah Cox, Frankie Grande and co-creator Constantine Rousouli. Co-creator Marla Mindelle will also reprise her role as Dion.

The Big Bang Theory stars returns to Broadway after leading Kenny Leon’s Tony-nominated revival of Our Town last year, alongside Katie Holmes and Zoey Deutch. His additional Broadway credits include The Normal Heart (2011), Harvey (2012), An Act of God (2015), The Boys in the Band (2018) and Mother Play (2024).

Grammy-nominated singer Deborah Cox also returns to Broadway following her turn as Glinda in the 2024 revival of The Wiz. She will play the unsinkable Molly Brown, a role originated by Kathy Bates in the 1997 film.

Broadway alum Frankie Grande — and brother of Wicked star Ariana Grande — was part of the original Titanique cast and will reprise his role as Victor Garber. His Broadway credits include Mamma Mia! and Rock of Ages.

Titaníque will play the St. James Theatre following the early closing of Kristin Chenoweth’s The Queen of Versailles and last year’s Tony-winning production of Sunset Blvd. The show will run for a 16-week limited engagement, with previews beginning March 26. Opening night is set for April 12, and performances will continue through July 12. Additional casting announcements are expected in the coming weeks.
