Circle Players' TITANIC THE MUSICAL Closes

The revival of Circle Players' production of Titanic the Musical at TPAC's James K. Polk Theatre runs through April 8.

The original Broadway production of Titanic the Musical, which won five Tony Award in 1997 including Best Musical, presents a historic retelling of what happened on the ship. The Circle Players' interpretation, which debuted in 2009 and was Tennessee's first production of the show, combines dedication to historical accuracy and rich local ties.

The production will feature more than 60 local actors, including surprise celebrity walk-on roles each performance. The orchestra will include music students from Tennessee State University, Nashville's only public university, which also observes its 100th anniversary this year.

"Kicking off the production with an opening night gala shows just how special this production is to Circle Players," said Tim Larson, president of Circle Players and director of the production.

"We're honored to host John Joslyn, who has dedicated many years to honoring the memory of the Titanic and her passengers. Hearing his presentation in a setting that pays homage to the ship will surely set the stage for the production at TPAC."
