Broadway’s St. James Theatre will host the 16-week limited engagement starting this spring, producers exclusively told News Of Los Angeles, confirming the long-rumored transfer of the underground hit.
Star-Studded Cast
Parsons-last seen in Lincoln Center’s Our Town-steps into Frances Fisher’s original Titanic role, while Cox returns to Broadway for the first time since 2024’s The Wiz. Rousouli and Grande, who originated Jack Dawson and Victor Garber Off-Broadway, sail with the show to its new home.
- Jim Parsons: 4× Emmy winner, Tony nominee (The Boys in the Band, Mother Play)
- Deborah Cox: Grammy nominee, Broadway credits include Aida and Jekyll & Hyde
- Constantine Rousouli: Co-creator, original Jack Dawson
- Frankie Grande: Social-media star, original Victor Garber
From Bar Joke to Broadway
What began as a “tipsy idea” in a Los Angeles bar a decade ago evolved into a global phenomenon. After pop-up cabarets and a 2022 Off-Broadway launch, the show won the 2025 Olivier Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy and spawned productions in London, Sydney, Toronto, Montréal, Chicago, Paris, and São Paulo.
> “After nearly 10 years of steering Titanique through more icebergs than anyone should survive, bringing her to Broadway feels absolutely unreal,” Rousouli told News Of Los Angeles. “Seeing her finally land on Broadway feels like standing on the bow of the ship: overwhelmed, grateful, and screaming, ‘I’M FINALLY THE KING OF THE WORLD!'”
