TITANIC: THE MUSICAL is just the sort of production that's perfectly suited to the vast expanse the Muny provides. After all, it's a big show, and there's no space quite as mammoth in size and scope as the Muny stage. And, I'm happy to report that their current presentation is a grand and entertaining spectacle that's powered by a top notch cast and sharp direction.

The Muny presents TITANIC The Musical July 5 - 11. It was a cold midnight at sea, and passengers were dancing in the grand salon until one man saw disaster looming. Iceberg...straight ahead. They called the RMS Titanic unsinkable, and more than 2,000 souls bet their lives on it.
