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.

Between sequins, high notes, and sinking ships, this musical proves that even when everything goes under, the show — and the singing — must go on.
