Titanique is Magnifique!!

Who would think that a disaster 100+ years ago would lead to 90 minutes of incredible parody and non-stop laughter? Titanique is exactly that…a laugh filled good time keeping the audience in wide grins.

The casting is brilliant. Clare Kennedy McLaughlin as Celine Dion is our storyteller and watching the cast members look to her with both admiration for the star she is, but also amazement at the story that just might be fictional as she tells us, keeps us in stitches. Adam Fane as Jack has the Leo DiCaprio look but with a much better sense of humor; Adam knows how to play the sexy role with delight. Maya Rowe as Rose is charming and endearing as she balances her life’s choices (even though that life may be nearing its tragic end!)

And candidly, if there are show stealers, there is, as always, the amazing Jackson Evans in several unrelated roles that are hysterical as Jackson has become known to play any humorous role; Rob Lindley is also a show stealer as Rose’s Mom with perfect sass and sarcasm. Finally, we never know what to expect when Lorenzo Shawn Parnell walks on to stage and to say what roles he takes on would be to give away some charming surprises, so let’s just say that Parnell owns the stage when it’s time for him to do his thing!

Get on Board! This is one ride you will likely take over and over again!
