Titanique

Titanique is a theatrical production, typically a musical parody, that humorously reimagines the story of the RMS Titanic, often focusing on the character of Celine Dion and her music from the film Titanic. Productions frequently incorporate over-the-top performances, anachronistic humor, and meta-theatrical elements. Key elements usually include:

• Celine Dion as a Character: The prominent, often narrating character is Celine Dion, frequently portrayed with exaggerated mannerisms and vocal stylings. She often sings her popular songs from the film "Titanic," as well as other songs, into the storyline.
• Parody of the Titanic Disaster: The actual sinking of the Titanic is presented in a farcical manner, often playing for laughs rather than dramatic tension.
• Exaggerated Characterizations: Characters such as Jack and Rose, along with other historical figures, are usually depicted with broad, comedic interpretations.
• Musical Numbers: The show includes musical numbers that incorporate both Celine Dion's discography and other popular songs, recontextualized to fit the narrative.
• Meta-Humor: Often, the production features self-aware humor, referencing its own theatricality and making jokes about the source material's iconic status.

The term "Titanique" generally refers to productions that follow this particular comedic and musical formula relating to the Titanic story.
