TITANISH Returns to Seattle Public Theater Next Month

The returning favorite Titanish is back at Seattle Public Theater from August 10, 2023 to September 17, 2023. Penned by Jeff Schell and Ryan Dobosh with music and direction by Mark Siano, this musical from The Habit Comedy writing team is sure to have audiences laughing so hard they’ll split in half. 

“As we were writing the script, Ryan picked up on it being a story about a disaster that could have been completely avoided if people had just taken precautionary measures,” Schell says. “Titanish now had the opportunity to parody our modern culture as well, and gave us a chance to satirize the hubris of the super wealthy and powerful.”

Seattle Public Theater is thrilled to have Titanish return. “It’s the perfect show for Summer. Sometimes folks want a light and fun distraction to escape, even if it’s just for a minute.,” says Producing Artistic Director Amy Poisson. “Tickets are selling fast so we know this is true. Laughter is an important tool for survival.” 

This new parody, from the successful team that brought A Very Die Hard Christmas and Indy Jones to the Seattle Public stage will be directed by hit-maker Mark Siano (Fairy’s Bottom, Bohemia, Seattle Vice, Spirit Parlour). In addition to being a crowd favorite, Titanish was also the 2022 Winner of Broadway World’s Critic’s Choice Award for Best New Musical.
