4 hours ago Titanique review – camp musical sails into silliness with Céline Dion onboard

Criterion theatre, LondonIt goes on and on but this madcap spoof of the blockbuster film has a sparkling cast, including Lauren Drew as Dion and Layton Williams as the icebergImagine James Cameron’s 1997 disaster film romance Titanic as a camp musical spoof narrated by Céline Dion, who famously sang its signature number. Every character onboard this ill-fated liner is a closet-door short of coming out – including Jack and Rose. Then add enough smutty double entendres and rapid cultural references to bedazzle a pantomime dame, alongside a score of mainly Dion songs (My Heart Will Go On is set to electric guitar).You might come close to preparing yourself for this madcap musical fantasia which has fetched up from off-Broadway to reprise (ruin?) the love story between Rose (Kat Ronney) – who is engaged to rich Cal (Jordan Luke Gage), with Grindr on his phone – and the poor artist Jack (Rob Houchen).

A Glastonbury duet with Chris Martin shot her skyward . Now, the self-reflective singer’s debut album is a marvel of candid songwriting – too candid for some, she saysLike many people, Victoria Canal failed to score tickets to last year’s Glastonbury festival. But the singer-songwriter’s solution wasn’t quite so relatable: Coldplay were headlining, so she messaged Chris Martin to ask if he could get her in. It was 1am in London, and Canal was drinking with friends when Martin called to make a better offer: how about she join him on stage?The next day, Canal thought she had “hallucinated” the entire conversation. “I have had many dreams like that before,” she says. But no. Come June, there she was: providing vocal and piano accompaniment to Paradise in front of an enraptured 100,000-strong crowd. In the footage, she seems to be in her element, completely unfazed by such a gargantuan gig. In reality, was she nervous? She pauses and gives me a strange look. “Of course! It was anything ...
