Max Jenkins joins 'Titanique' Off-Broadway cast

The hit parody musical, which spoofs James Cameron's Titanic film and features the songs of Céline Dion, has played to acclaim in New York since 2022.

His heart will go on! Max Jenkins will join the cast of Titanique off Broadway, beginning performances at the Daryl Roth Theatre on November 4.

Jenkins is best known for his Screen Actors Guild-nominated performance in the Netflix series Dead To Me. He has also appeared on the TV shows Social Distance, Life and Beth, High Maintenance, Special, and more. In theatre, he performed in Which Way To The Stage off Broadway and co-wrote and co-starred in Unnatural Acts, which earned a Drama Desk Award nomination.

He will replace Michael Williams as Jack in Titanique. Continuing cast members include Dee Roscioli as Céline Dion, Cayleigh Capaldi as Rose, Joel Waggoner as Ruth, Brandon Contreras as Cal, Lisa Howard as The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Tommy Bracco as Victor Garber, and Marcus Antonio as The Iceberg, plus Rae Davenport, Sara Gallo, Tess Marshall, and Terrence Williams Jr.

Titanique is a musical parody of James Cameron's Titanic film, co-created by Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli, and director Tye Blue. Céline Dion narrates the show, telling audiences what really happened to Jack and Rose. The show, which includes Dion's hit songs, has run off Broadway since 2022.

New York Theatre Guide's four-star Titanique review reads, "Expect a titanic amount of pure joy... [the] tale is as much a love letter to the Titanic movie as it is to the people obsessed with that movie."
