Plus: Four performances to catch this week
The Canadian premiere production of this cult off-Broadway hit is set to first be staged -- naturally -- in Céline’s home province of Québec, at the Segal Centre in Montreal. It will then transfer to Toronto for a run at the CAA Theatre, produced by Mirvish Productions, according to audition notices circulating.
Not only is Céline’s music a big part of this jukebox musical created by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle, and Constantine Rousouli, the singer herself is a character in it.in New York, in the opening scene, “the Québécoise superstar emerges from under a hooded cloak to take over a tour of the Titanic Museum – announcing that she is, impossibly, the last living survivor of the passenger line that infamously sank in 1912.
“She has somehow come to believe that she not only sang the theme song for James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster-buster, but was actually on the ill-fated ship itself.”Another audition notice emailed out to members of the Canadian Actors Equity Association notes that rehearsals will begin in Montreal on September 30, 2024.
