The Tony award-winning Titanic the Musical sets anchor at the Norwich Theatre Royal from 1 – 6 May and tells the poignant story of the ill-fated voyage of the unsinkable ship on 14 Apr 1912.
The story is based on real people who were passengers and crew of the Titanic, including Captain Edward Smith. The stunning production focuses on the hopes, dreams and aspirations of people on board RMS Titanic when the ship collided with an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York and slowly sank to the ocean’s depths.
The Third Class immigrants dreamed of a better life in America. The Second Class passengers imagined they too could join the lifestyles of the rich and famous, whilst the millionaire Barons of the First Class cabins anticipated legacies lasting forever. All were innocently unaware of the unimaginable fate awaiting them.
With music and lyrics by Maury Yeston (Nine, Grand Hotel) and a book by Peter Stone (Woman of the Year and 1776), the pair have collectively won an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, an Olivier Award and three Tony awards. The original Broadway production of Titanic The Musical won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.
This new production celebrates the 10th anniversary of its London premiere, where it won sweeping critical acclaim across the board and is a spectacular show not to be missed.
Speaking about the tour, producer, Danielle Tarento said, “To mark this anniversary by revisiting some favourite venues from the last tour and bringing the show to some wonderful new ones feels especially joyful”.
Titanic the Musical is at Norwich Theatre Royal between 1 – 6 May. It is part of a strong spring season at Norwich Theatre, which also includes dramas The Beekeeper of Aleppo and comedy The Birds and The Bees with Helen Lederer; plus this summer’s brand new musical co-produced with Buxton International Festival, The Land of Might-Have-Been. This beautiful show tells the early life and love of Vera Brittain. For more information or to book, visit norwichtheatre.org or call 01603 630 000.
