TITANIC the Musical
November 2-4 & 8-11, 2018
Show Description:
Presented in partnership with StageWorks Projects, this musical play examines the causes, conditions and stories from a range of humanity aboard. 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, Maury Yeston and Peter Stone’s musical, TITANIC, tells the stories of the people on board the legendary steamer and the men who got them there. Spanning all classes, TITANIC captures the stories from the whole range of humanity aboard the ship: from workers in the boiler room to first-class attendants; from the poorest passengers, who scraped together their life savings to purchase third-class tickets to America, to some of the wealthiest men of the Victorian age, including John Jacob Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim. Maury Yeston and Peter Stone’s musical tells the tragic story with a compassionate book, intelligent lyrics, and soaring melodies. Full of memorable characters based on the real men and women on the ship, TITANIC is a powerful, complex look at the making of a tragedy. (StageAgent)
