Meet the cast of Titanique

Written by an Olivier award-winning team, Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli, and Tye Blue, Titanique is a splash hit musical parody that has been taking the theatre world by (sea)storm. The eleven-time Oscar-winning film Titanic is retold by Canadian songstress Céline Dion. The story takes audiences on an outrageously funny journey (with only a few minor collisions), but who will be making the expedition across the North Atlantic ocean on the unsinkable ship?

Who plays Céline Dion?

Taking the lead of deck-loving diva and Canadian superstar Céline Dion is Astrid Harris. Harris reprises the role, having played Dion in the Paris production. She’s no stranger to cruises either, having starred as the Lead Vocalist for Silversea Cruises. On shore, she has performed in Roles We’ll Never Play (Union Theatre) and Spooktacular Spectacular (The Other Palace). Her solo show, Decades of Divas has been seen by thousands of people in over 30 countries.  

Who plays Cal?

Richard Carson takes on the role of the arrogant antagonist, Cal. A leading man on the London West End, his past credits include Sky in MAMMA MIA! (Novello Theatre), Cover Javert in Les Misérables (Sondheim Theatre) and Maxim de Winter in the UK premiere of Rebecca (Charing Cross Theatre). 

Who plays Jack?

Playing the lovesick lead (with the swoon-worthy hair) is Luke Bayer. His theatre credits include Alternate Jamie in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (Original West End Cast – Apollo Theatre), Mark in RENT (Hope Mill Theatre) and Nick Carraway in Gatsby (Southwark Playhouse). Bayer also performed in the Les Misérables 20th Anniversary performance (Sondheim Theatre).

Who plays Rose?

Rose Galbraith plays fellow lovesick lead (and owner of the infamous heart of the ocean, which can be seen dangling from the theatre’s ceiling), Rose. It was meant to be! Galbraith's previous credits include 13 Going on 30, Cruel Intentions (The Other Palace) and Sondheim’s Old Friends Gala (Sondheim Theatre - naturally)  

Who plays The Iceberg?

Taking on the role of The Iceberg (yes, it’s a role in the show and an iconique one at that) is Ryan Carter. Carter’s previous credits include Smokey Robinson in Ain**’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations (Prince Edward Theatre),* *The Hard Man in The Choir of Man (Assembly Hall, Edinburgh) and Jagwire in Bat Out Of Hell (UK Tour, 2025).
