The multi-award-winning comedian, singer and actress Myra DuBois is set to make a splash in the West End as she joins the London cast of the hilarious, smash-hit musical comedy Titanique at the Criterion Theatre. DuBois will jump aboard the ship of dreams to play Ruth for six weeks, from 1 September to 11 October 2026.

Myra DuBois commented: “How thrilled I am to be joining the cast of Titanique in London’s glittering West End! I saw the show a few weeks back and had one of the best nights out in the theatre I’d had in a long time; gales of laughter from start to finish. And Ruth is the role of a lifetime. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into the character and give the part the dramatique gravitas, levity, brevity and integrity that this script is calling out for!”
Titanqiue has also announced that etiquette coach, podcast host and author William Hanson will extend his run to 26 July, due to popular demand, and that the original West End Ruth, Emmy-nominated actor Stephen Guarino, will return for five weeks from 28 July to 30 August.
They join shipmates Lewis Francis as The Iceberg, Rose Galbraith as Rose, Astrid Harris as Céline Dion, Freddie King as Jack, Cameron Vear as Cal, Michael Vinsen as Victor Garber/Luigi, and Nikki Wheeldon as Molly Brown.
Based on James Cameron's hit film, Titanique asks the question: what truly happened the night the Titanic sunk? The musical comedy places Céline Dion centre stage as narrator and guide, and features hits such as "My Heart Will Go On", "All by Myself", and "To Love You More".
Further casting for Ruth from 11 October is to be announced.
