Sometimes You Have To Check Your Brain In At The Door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    It is a good thing, once in a while, darlings, and for Theater Queens especially.

                                    When I entered the theater to see "Titanique," If felt guilty about seeing something that spoofs an iconic historic tragedy.  Well, don't worry, dolls, this musical is the spoof of the overrated 1997 movie that verged on camp, here the camp is amped up for all it is worth.  And we just LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        Anyone hard of hearing will have no problem here, as the music is turned up so loud, intentionally that one cannot miss a note or lyric.

                                         Two of my favorites, Andrew Keenan-Bolger and Lea DeLaria, are currently in this production, and both are well used.  Keenan-Bolger plays the Victor Garber character, and some mascot named Luigi.  DeLaira plays Rose's mother, and I have rarely seen her used as well as she is in this. Her camp lesbianism works here for a change, unlike when I last saw her as Miss Judith Fellows in--can you believe it? --"The Night Of The Iguana."

                                         Good as both are, the highlights of this camp romp are Dee Roscioli as Celine Dion--yes, she, and the entire cast do "My Heart Will Go On!!!!!!!!!"--and Kyle Romar Freeman, as, get this, the Ice Bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  They raise this show to the levels of camp and parody unseen since the golden days of Charles Busch and Christopher Durang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                             There are plenty of show and film references throughout--"Anything Goes," "A Chorus Line," with Andrew Keenan Bolger doing the Donna McKechnie end extension, which I have been perfecting my whole life; in fact everything here is included, even a homage to Bob Fosse and "Chicago."  We all know doing his choreography is a bitch, don't we, darlings????????????

                                                Ellenore Scott's choreography and Ty Blue's direction make the whole thing work.  "Titanique" may not be an iconic musical, but it offers an evening of sheer fun, and sometimes that is all so many of us need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                   Dash to the Daryl Roth Theatre instantly, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
