Titanic sets sail on The Royal Theatre’s stage February 9-19 and is co-sponsored by Terry Cole Trucking and MySaline.com. Titanic The Musical is a story and book written by Peter Stone with Music and Lyrics by Maury Yeston. Produced on Broadway by Dodger Theatricals, Richard S. Pechter, and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Titanic The Musical ran two years with 804 performances winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Although it premiered in the same year as James Cameron’s epic film adaptation of the story Titanic, also about the doomed ship, the musical and film have no connection.
April 10, 1912: the RMS Titanic sets out from London on her maiden voyage, across the Atlantic. Billed as “The Largest Floating Object in The World,” the Titanic is already big news. April 15, 1912: Titanic, the “unsinkable” ship, sinks, killing over 1500 men, women and children. In a stunning chamber musical as massive as the ocean liner that shares its name, Titanic The Musical tells the stories of the people on board the legendary steamer and the men who got them there.
