The West End has been hit by an iceberg of laughter as Titanique The Musical docks in London. This outrageous parody of James Cameron’s epic film Titanic has sailed from cult favorite to theatrical sensation, packing the stage with pop ballads, campy chaos, and Céline Dion as the ultimate narrator. But did this madcap musical make waves with the critics—or did it sink under the weight of its own absurdity?
