I went to see this show shortly after it opened and was fully expecting to witness a disaster, and by that I mean a show sinking, not a ship. Instead, I was totally blown away by the music. I didn't think it was a great show, but the music and orchestrations were so beautiful so sumptuous, the choral singing was so thrilling, and the solos, duets and trios were very moving. Still, this play was lucky it debuted in 1997. If it had debuted in 1998 with Ragtime an The Lion King in competition, there's no way it would have won Best Musical. Titanic was a good show. Ragtime was a great one (and it lost!).
The score is so beautiful. The book, however, is so full of winking foreshadowing and exposition, I hate almost every dialogue scene and just want them to get to the songs 😂
My late husband had the honor of playing piano for this with his vocal students at a dinner honoring the composer Maury Yeston. One of the highlights of my love’s career.
This was one of my absolute favorite musicals to perform. I wish I had gotten to see the original cast perform it on Broadway. Someday, my children will have the grandest exposure to arts that I always wish I had.
I got to see this on Broadway and it was fantastic. I don't know what I was really expecting, but this went above and beyond anything I was envisioning. I just wish they filmed it for release on DVD with the original Broadway cast.
🐝 For those of you who disparage this show for depicting a tragedy - do you feel that way about Henry V, War Horse, Come From Away? Theater is meant to explore how we react to life. And did you sit through that schlocky, ridiculous film about Titanic?
also love the music- with a few exceptions i would cut while mounting- but the show needs good strong actors to make it work- and young when needed- and there is that SHIP!!!
COMPANY Farewell, farewell Godspeed, Titanic... From your berth glide free! As you plough the deep, In your arms I'll keep. Safely west May you carry me. Sail on, sail on Great ship, Titanic... Cross the open sea Pray the journey's sound Till your port be found Fortune's winds Sing Godspeed to thee... Fortune's winds Sing Godspeed To thee!

Unbelievable choral work. Stunning in the theater.

The most incredible musical of all time!!!
Just love the simplicity - and power - of the staging here. Wow.

I saw this on Broadway. Awesome!
Great show! Awesome music, lyrics, cast. Tony for Best Musical well-deserved!
Seeing the boarding ramp with “white star liner” printed on it makes me so emotional for some reason 😂

Godspeed, Titanic...
From your berth glide free!
As you plough the deep,
In your arms I'll keep.
Safely west
May you carry me.
Sail on, sail on
Great ship, Titanic...
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee...
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed
To thee!
After they got the kinks out, it was a surprisingly enjoyable show.
saw this on broadway and was not overly impressed it looked cheap n was good in parts
All of these people are having the exact same thoughts at the exact same time...
Cut to 20 years later, times have changed

this came before the movie came out
@@hierrikmedan6934 Ok. Thank you
Loved this show at The Lunt Fontanne, but for the 500 lb. woman sitting on one side of my husband, who sat on me the entire time. *SIGH*
Awful.
