Why Titanique is a Must-See for London Tourists

Titanique is no ordinary musical—it’s a campy, chaotic celebration that mashes up James Cameron’s Titanic with the powerhouse vocals of Céline Dion. The story kicks off when Céline herself hijacks a Titanic Museum tour, spinning a wildly irreverent tale of Jack and Rose’s doomed romance through her chart-topping catalog. Expect show-stopping numbers like “All by Myself,” “To Love You More,” and even a cheeky nod to “Who Let the Dogs Out,” all wrapped in a package of pop culture references and laugh-out-loud humor. With a runtime of just 1 hour 40 minutes and no interval, it’s a fast-paced, high-energy romp that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

For tourists, Titanique at the Criterion Theatre offers a quintessential West End experience in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, surrounded by London’s iconic landmarks like Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square. The intimate, 150-year-old Criterion, with its stunning underground auditorium, immerses you in the action, making every seat feel close to the hilarity. Recommended for ages 14+ due to strong language and sexual references (strictly no admittance for under 12s; under 16s must be accompanied by an adult), this show is perfect for solo travelers, couples, or groups seeking a night of pure fun.
