Yes, there is one.  Had the good or rather misfortune to see this last night at a local theatre.  Hats off to the cast, but the music was dire and repetitive.  I have never been more grateful when the boat finally sank.  A bit like this show.  Can't see
this one having a west end run.  Anyone else out there seen this?.  My son inlaw says it has inspired him to write Jaws the Musical, lol.  Watch this space!

    No haven't seen it, for sheer drama you could combine the two ideas! Wink We saw White Christmas a week ago, very good but a bit weird, expected to find snow when we came out of the theatre...Happy

    If you ever get the chance, look out for a film called "The Tall Guy" directed by the late, great Mel Smith and starring Jeff Goldblum and Emma Thompson.

    Jeff plays a small time actor who gets a break in a musical based on The Elephant Man.

    It's basically a huge mickey-take of musicals.......and in my humble opinion one of tbe best comedy films ever made. Some superb one liners.

    Not seen that film, IanH, but will look out for it.  Some subjects don't resonate well with a musical genre, and Titanic is surely one of them.

    Titanic the Musical? Shouldn't it be 'Titanic on Ice'?

    Very good, Cyberyacht.  Real ice might have added to the show.  The scene were the ship hit the iceberg (sound effects only) and the crew and passengers abandoning ship (invisible life boats and water), was very funny, and it wasn't meant to be.
