Broadway just got a whole lot gayer, and thank the stars for that! Enter Titaníque, the raunchy new musical that’s making waves with its campy take on the iconic film, all set to the legendary tunes of Céline Dion. Co-created by the fabulous Constantine Rousouli, this show is not just a feast for the ears but a visual delight with a hunky cast that’s ready to “d*ck slap you from the stage.” Yes, you heard that right!
Imagine the Titanic saga, but with a twist: instead of the usual somber tones, you’re serenaded by Dion’s greatest hits. Rousouli describes it perfectly: “It is basically a throwback to the movie Titanic, but set to all Céline Dion songs. It’s as if Céline Dion was taking you back on this journey and she was on the ship that night with Jack and Rose!” Talk about a dream come true for any fan of the diva!
Rousouli’s journey to Broadway is nothing short of inspirational. He first conceived the idea for Titaníque while sipping martinis, and after years of hard work alongside collaborators Tye Blue and Marla Mindelle, he’s finally brought this vision to life. “Can you believe we bamboozled commercial theater? I don’t know how that’s possible, but it happened! I love being gay. Thank God we’re gay. The fanbase is so incredible,” he exclaimed, reflecting on the show’s success.
After a successful off-Broadway run that lasted nearly three years, Titaníque has officially docked in the bustling theater district of Hell’s Kitchen. Rousouli recalls a serendipitous moment during a vacation in Mykonos where he met the right people at the right time, leading to the show’s Broadway debut. “I got David Foster’s people to the show in New York being a gay homosexual in Mykonos. Ten years later, it’s a lot of luck, timing, and being nice to people,” he shared.
But Rousouli isn’t stopping here. He dreams of creating more queer content that resonates with audiences worldwide. “Honestly, I just want to continue to work and spread joy and laughter. That has been in my mission in my life. I just want to continue to do that, especially in queer spaces and bringing queerness to commercial spaces,” he said, with a sparkle in his eye.
So, if you’re ready to experience a Broadway show that celebrates all things fabulous and queer, grab your tickets to Titaníque and prepare for a night of laughter, music, and a whole lot of heart. Because let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to be d*ck slapped by Broadway’s hottest new musical?
