TITANÍQUE " THE MUSICAL Splashes into São Paulo with Céline Dion, Camp, and Chaos Afloat
by Claudio Erlichman - Nov 3, 2025

Now playing at Teatro SABESP Frei Caneca through December 14, Titanique — The Musical turns James Cameron’s epic into a sparkling pop comedy, hilariously narrated by none other than Céline Dion — embodied with flair and wit by Alessandra Maestrini. Directed by Gustavo Barchilon, the Brazilian production blends camp humor, pop-culture parody, and Céline’s greatest hits into a riotous night of theater. With a powerhouse cast Titanique is a glittery, over-the-top romp where nothing is sacred and laughter rules. Between sequins, high notes, and sinking ships, this musical proves that even when everything goes under, the show — and the singing — must go on.
