Musical · West End
Titanique
A comedy musical that parodies the 1997 film Titanic using the songs of Celine Dion, including My Heart Will Go On and All by Myself. It was devised by Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli and Tye Blue, who also directs, and began Off-Broadway before transferring to the Criterion Theatre in the West End.
Myra DuBois plays Ruth until 8 November 2026, when William Hanson takes over. The show won the Olivier Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play. The running time is 125 minutes including a 15-minute interval. Recommended for ages 14+, with strong language, sexual references and adult humour. Flashing lights and haze are used.
Buying advice
How to book
It sells steadily rather than out, so you can usually pick a date and a seat without racing. Premium seats hold at £133.75 however late you book, but the cheaper bands rise as the date nears, so book ahead for a cheaper seat. Peak performances carry a surcharge: mid-range seats run £43.75–£76.25 against £33.75–£67 off-peak, roughly 14% more, so an off-peak date is the easy saving.
Ways to pay less
The easiest saving is to pick an off-peak date, where mid-range seats top out at £67 against £76.25 on peak dates, about 14% more. The best value route in is to save up to 25% on tickets through an agency, such as SeatPlan, where a £133.75 seat can be £100. If you are happy to gamble, £30 rush tickets are available daily, though a seat is not guaranteed. The Splash Sale also offers kooky krazy prices on select performances, booking until January 2027.

Where to sit
The Criterion has pillars that restrict some views, so check your seat before you book. The Dress Circle has the prime views, especially in the centre, but watch for the curve and the overhang further back. The front Stalls are immersive but tight on legroom, with the overhang starting early, around Row G or H. The Upper Circle is for the big picture only: distant and tight on legroom. Seats run from £30 to £135.
The Criterion Theatre's own seating guide, level by level, is below.
