All aboard! Titanique will make its final voyage at the Criterion Theatre in the West End on 3 January 2027, before embarking on a UK tour.

Etiquette coach William Hanson will return to the role of Ruth from 10 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, while the musical comedy's current Ruth, Myra DuBois, will star in the role on tour.

Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli's show made its West End debut at the Criterion Theatre in January 2025, going on to win two Olivier Awards, including Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play and Best Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical for Layton Williams. Titanique reimagines what really happened between Jack and Rose the night the Titanic sunk, all overseen by Canadian singer Célion Dion.

The current cast also includes Ailsa Davidson as Rose, Lewis Francis as The Iceberg, 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; with AJ Lewis, Joi Lurrie and Sophie-Rose Middleton as on-stage background vocalists. Finton Flynn, Josh Lovell and Charlotte Soo complete the cast as offstage understudies.

Producers Eva Price and Michael Harrison commented: “It has been such a thrill to bring Titaníque to the West End and share this gloriously outrageous show with London audiences. We’ve had an incredible time making waves in the West End, and we couldn’t be more excited to now take our Olivier Award winning show on the road. And what better way to do it than with the incomparable Myra DuBois joining us for the tour? We are absolutely thrilled to welcome her aboard and cannot wait for audiences across the country to experience the uniquely fabulous world of Titanique.”

On returning to the West End, Hanson said: “As a great diva once opined, “it’s not a comeback, it’s a return”! And one I’m thrilled about. My original seven-week run onboard the RMS Titaníque sailed by only too quickly and was a voyage of never-ending fun with the most gorgeous and talented company. To be able to go back and work with them again, and to close what has been one of my favourite shows on the West End for some time, is an honour and a privilege.”

On going on tour, DuBois added: “I’ve adored playing Ruth in the West End, how thrilling to get to spend a few more months with her around the country in this screamingly hilarious show!”
