Icebergs, Ballads & Bottomless Laughs: Why TITANÍQUE Is the Mum’s Night Out of the Year

Because nothing says self-care like Céline Dion belting ballads while Jack and Rose go off the rails.

Let’s face it—if you’re a parent, there’s a 90% chance your current version of “night entertainment” includes Paw Patrol reruns, washing school uniforms at 9pm, and whisper-screaming “GO TO BED” through gritted teeth. But what if I told you that somewhere, not too far from your messy lounge room, a glorious escape awaits?

TITANÍQUE, the cult-favourite musical comedy that reimagines Titanic through the powerhouse vocals (and glorious sass) of Céline Dion, has docked in Sydney at the Grand Electric in Surry Hills. And honestly? This is your boarding call for the ultimate Mum’s Night Out.

Whine Not? Sip Champagne and Let TITANÍQUE Take the Wheel

If you’ve ever mouthed “My Heart Will Go On” dramatically while folding laundry (just me?), this show is basically your spirit animal. TITANÍQUE takes everything you remember from the movie—doomed romance, that car scene, that plank—and absolutely dismantles it with sequins, comedy, and Céline’s greatest hits.

In this version, the story is told through Céline Dion herself, who hijacks the narrative like the dramatic icon she is, insisting the Titanic saga was hers to tell all along. Because obviously.

The Plot (Kind Of)

In true chaotic energy, Céline—yes, actual character Céline Dion—steps onstage to reclaim her truth. What follows is a wild re-telling of Titanic complete with:

• Jack and Rose being even more fabulous (and ridiculous) than you remember.
• Side characters stealing the show.
• Every Céline anthem you’ve ever blasted in the car—belted with Broadway precision and diva energy.

Expect “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, “To Love You More”, “All By Myself”, and of course, “My Heart Will Go On”—performed in ways you didn’t know were physically, emotionally, or legally possible.

Why This is the Night Out You Deserve

Mums, let me paint the picture:

• You grab a friend (or ten).
• You book a sitter (or bribe your partner).
• You dust off those heels, or just commit to the activewear glam.
• And you head into Surry Hills, where you’re greeted not with bedtime stories, but with glitter, laughter, and musical mayhem.

TITANÍQUE is the kind of cathartic comedy that gives you permission to laugh way too loud and mouth every Céline lyric like you’re in a karaoke battle with fate. It’s camp, it’s chaotic, and it’s got more heart than a school lunchbox on Valentine’s Day.

Not Just a Show—It’s a Party (with Permission to Yell)

What sets TITANÍQUE apart is how wildly un-serious it is. It’s like your favourite girls’ group chat came to life on stage—with better vocals and fewer tantrums. There’s dancing in your seat. Possibly ugly crying. Definitely gasping. And guaranteed moments of “did that just happen?”

Whether you’re a die-hard Titanic fan, a Céline groupie, or just someone who needs to laugh off the mental load, this is the kind of fun that fills your cup. And no one asks you to cut the crusts off anything.

The Vibe

Set inside the intimate and ever-cool Grand Electric Theatre, TITANÍQUE leans into its cabaret roots. Think plush velvet, retro vibes, and the perfect mix of glam and grunge. Grab a drink from the bar (might we suggest something bubbly for full Céline effect?) and settle in for a show that is less “sit politely and clap” and more “let loose and revel in the ridiculous”.

And yes, there’s merch. Get the shirt. Buy the mug. Live your truth.

Date Night? Mum’s Group? Work Drinks With a Twist?

Honestly, this show is for everyone—but especially for anyone who’s ever cried over a sappy song while eating snacks from the pantry at midnight. It’s perfect for:

• Mum’s Night Out: Finally, a show that doesn’t include audience participation from toddlers.
• Date Night: If your partner can quote Titanic lines, they’ll love it. If they can’t, drag them anyway.
• Girls’ Night: Matching outfits optional, sequins encouraged.
• Solo Escape: Live your best Céline fantasy. No judgement.

Real Talk: Will You Cry?

Probably. But also laugh. And cheer. And wonder why no one told you about this sooner. If you’ve ever wished for something that combines Broadway talent with TikTok-style humour and Céline Dion at her theatrical best, TITANÍQUE is your answer.

It’s the show that reminds us that sometimes, we do need to go on—even if it’s just for the chance to see Céline narrate the most famous iceberg disaster in pop culture history.
