Enjoy
Yes, the Broadway set was amazing. Loved the crow's nest. Someone should reconceive the set though--that score is too beautiful for the show not to be done in regional/community theater.
NYC Blonde I saw it 4 TIMES in the round at a local theater
It got a PHENOMENAL review Plaza Theater Cleburne Texas
It took 12 years to reply!
I love Victoria Clark as "busybody" Alice Beane!
I agree. It is extremly rare that people create such moving and fantastic openings to shows. Usually they only happen at the end, but i find with Titanic from the start you feel the same way the real people felt. When boarding you can see and feel the excitment all the way through to the end when you can see and feel the distraught survivors. It makes the true story come extremly clear.
the orchestra sounds so beautiful. It has such a full sound
That’s before they only had one person per part. Real full orchestra of 10 violins not the shitty one violin with a synthesizer they do now. WEAK.
Over 10 years later, I'm still incredibly moved by this opening sequence. Maury, Maury, you raised the bar very high with this score, and no-one's really gone there since.
Holy crap. Go Victoria Clark! Wow.
Thank you SO much for uploading this. I've been looking everywhere for clips of the original production of Titanic. It's truly one of the most moving musicals ever written. Beautiful, beautiful show. :]
I have just been part of 'Titanic the Musical' in Halifax and we performed on the 100th anniversary and did a special 11.40pm performance (exactly 100 years since the ship collided with the iceberg) and finished at 2.20am (exactly 100 years since the ship slipped beneath the surface) and I can honestly say I have never been in a show where the audience cheers at the set being revealed and I doubt I ever will again
Jack Thayer is the little boy (even though the real Jack Thayer was 17 but hey it looks good). And if your refering to the woman who looks like shes in Mourning that's Mrs Ida Strauss. Her and her husband Isidor are the two most noble people on board the titanic. Mr Strauss refused to leave before everyone else was safely away and his wife wouldn't leave his side. The two of them went down side by side. They were founding members of Macey's department store.
I was in this production as a child and it was a great memory we opened for the titanic museum and it's an amazing score and show altogether and it's difficult not to cry every time I hear the music
Sevon Askew were you in the original Broadway cast?
Victoria Clark is LIIIIVVVVIIINNGG when she sings!! forever my love...
After all the versions of this show I've seen, the OBC remains my absolute favourite. Everyone here is perfectly cast and AMAZIN. Thank you so much for posting!
ahhh brings back some great memories... loved the music, the set and characters. The costumes designs could of used some work. One character looked like an ant during Remarkable Age love ya for posting
Victoria Clark! she's wonderful
I first saw the show during the last week of previews. I was sitting in the back of the theater with Melissa Bell Chait and Maury kept pacing back and forth across the back wall of the main floor during the ENTIRE show. At intermission I congratulated him on such a magnificent achievement and told him he had already made me cry several times in only the first half! Among those times: the Opening Number, the "Marry Me" telegraph scene, and something else.
That was so cool. I have always wanted to see this show and I guess I would take clips over nothing at all.
@Funstuff13613 --- LOL!
The thing about Maury's musical of TITANIC is that it's more about people striving for something beyond their ability to quite do yet than about the tragedy itself. The very opening of the show has the designer of the boat talking about how in every age, mankind tries to do something that seems impossible, such as the pyramids, the aqueducts of Rome, etc. Then this same ambitious sentiment comes back at the end of the show, with the ghosts of passengers joining in.
Wow. Love that show, blessed to have seen it. The three-tiered set was unbelievable. It never played the same on tour. Too bad...
i saw it tice in NYC and then it closed...i'm glad i was able to see it , it was amazing !! even better than RENT, which was the reason i went to NYC
Why shdn't this story be told in a beautiful musical? All the characters & events are based on true history. Tho it's hard to tell from this (short clip w. terrible sound), the score is wonderful, magnificent at times, heartbreaking at times too. Many plays, operas & musicals are based on history, tragic & otherwise, many of them cathartic. And, yes, I agree "9/11 On Ice" is a terrible idea. But some of the songs & shows that deal w. it are lovely (Lisa Brescia "I'll Be There," ORDINARY DAYS).
I remember when this came out, I got my copy in 1998. It was amazing then, and still is!
I can't remember the other place now -- but this score was really something, and I've learned not to expect stuff to be this good, at least among dramatic, non-comedic shows, since. That Maury hasn't been able to get anything else produced, subsequently, is a crime, and an indication that our musical theater priorities are skewed in favor of corporate properties , musical comedy (which is still done well) and lowest-common-denominator sensibilities.
THANKS A LOT for our chorus is going to make this opening several days later. It's indeed a wonderful demo.
20th Anniversary this year!
Ooooooh! Thanks for uploading this! It's AWESOME! I was in a version of this! Brings back so many happy memories. Amazing to see the original production! Wow! Thank you SO much!
@NYCBASS01 -- The personnel are listed in the CD insert!
We are doing this show at the Historic Cocoa Village play house and we open on the 100th anniversary.
Thanks for the info on B'way run. I may just use it as an excuse to return to NYC for a visit. I'll do some research so I can see when tix are avail. Thx again!
@davesbigplay YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PERFECT THAT SOUNDS!! I think you should start a facebook group or something
AWESOME! ive been looking 4 the origional bway cast!
where did you get the DVD? my aunt looved the broadway show and i think she would loove it for a gift.
thanks! :)
whose the character of the rich woman in the black dress/hat and parasol? and is the little boy jack thayer?
That is Ida Straus. And yes the little boy is Jack Thayer (even though the real Jack was 17 at the time)
wait so this isn't based on the movie?
No, considering it opened in New York 7 months before the movie was released. It focuses on the real people rather than a fictional love story (although there are certainly romantic moments in the show).
I saw this show in New York in tenth grade on my high school choir's annual trip. It was, BY FAR, the worst experience of my life. TERRIBLE! thank you for reading
Kerry Kramer sucks for you but this musical is still amazing
Padraig Pantoja I’ve grown up a bit in 6 years and don’t post like that anymore. I maintain that, as a high schooler, the show was boring for me at the time. If I gave it another chance, maybe I’d change my mind about it.
Kerry Kramer good to hear!
When is the September 11th Musical coming out?
ironic with come from away existing now. how times change
Come From Away opened in 2017 and it is incredible
ohhh those are some terrible irish accents.
