Just leave it to Céline Dion to casually hijack a Titanic Museum tour and enchant the audience with her totally wild take, recharting the course of Titanic’s beloved moments and characters with her iconic song catalog.”

Producer Eva Price said, “The news has been rough, this summer has been hot…and clearly, escaping with Celine Dion & the brilliant company of Titanique to the basement of a Gristedes is the salve folks need right now. It’s been a show of dreams for all of us, and we’re so thrilled it’ll remain buoyant for six more weeks at the Asylum!”
