Titanic The Musical sailing into Newcastle

Musical sailing into Newcastle Mon 27 Mar – Sat 1 Apr 2023.

The critically acclaimed production set to be one of the must-see shows of the year

thanks to its dramatic and moving story, atmospheric set and incredible musical

score.

In the final hours of 14th April 1912, the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage from

Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and 'the unsinkable ship' slowly

sank. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the 20th Century. 1517 men, women

and children lost their lives.

Based on real people aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic The

Musical is a stunning and stirring production focusing on the hopes, dreams and

aspirations of her passengers who each boarded with stories and personal ambitions

of their own.

All innocently unaware of the fate awaiting them, the Third Class immigrants’ dream

of a better life in America, the Second Class imagine they too can join the lifestyles of

the rich and famous, whilst the millionaire Barons of the First Class anticipate

legacies lasting forever.
