'Titanique' is a jukebox musical full of humor, Dion songs, and (sometimes too) broad winks
The Dutch premiere of 'Titanique', a parody musical based on the 1997 film Titanic, features Renée van Wegberg as Céline Dion, who claims to have witnessed the 1912 disaster. Directed by Martin Michel and translated by Jeremy Baker, the show uses Dion’s hits to tell a humorous story, with strong performances from Dana van der Geer and Cathalijne de Sonnaville, though Calvin Kromheer struggles vocally. The production includes campy pop culture references and critiques of Gen Z slang, but critics note that some jokes are banal and the acting uneven. However, Robbert van den Bergh receives praise for his improvised monologue against gender injustice.
