Tom Allen joins the cast of Titanique for a limited run this spring
Comedian Tom Allen will take to the stage at the Criterion Theatre for six weeks in the Olivier-winning Celine Dion musical
Tom Allen is setting sail on Celine Dion’s favourite ship. The comedian is set to join the cast of comedy musical Titanique for a limited six week season this spring, with his run beginning Wednesday 4 March and ending Sunday 12 April at London’s Criterion Theatre.
Allen will be playing the role of Ruth, a part currently played by Carl Mullaney. Also in the cast are Luke Bayer as Jack, Richard Carson as Cal, Ryan Carter as The Iceberg, Rose Galbraith as Rose, Astrid Harris as Céline Dion, Carl Mullaney as Ruth, Michael Vinsen as Victor Garber / Luigi, and Charlotte Wakefield as Molly Brown.
Of his casting, Allen said: “I saw this show when it first opened and I loved it so much I had to see it again almost immediately. The laughs and camp spoofing are addictive and exactly what the world needs right now. I am beyond honoured to be joining this extremely talented cast and can’t wait to come aboard for my lifeboat drill! …wait, they do have enough lifeboats right?”
Titanique follows the story of Jack and Rose from James Cameron’s celebrated film, as recalled by Celine Dion. Packed full of Celine’s biggest hits, it’s the classic romance as you’ve never seen or heard it before – with more Dion than ever. You can read our review here.
