Disclosure - We were invited to watch Titanic The Musical. All thoughts and opinions are our own. This post contains affiliate links
We are always eager to to experience new shows at the theatre and also experiencing new venues too. We do tend to visit the same theatres local to us as we know them so well after visiting them for many years however there are lots of theatres close to home that we have yet to visit and last week we ticked one off the list, The Grand Theatre, Blackpool. We were invited to watch Titanic The Musical and were excited to not only watch the show but also to try out the theatre too.
Titanic The Musical Tour
In the final hours of 14th April 1912 the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and ‘the unsinkable ship’ slowly sank. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the 20th Century. 1517 men, women and children lost their lives.
Based on real people aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic The Musical is a stunning and stirring production focusing on the hopes, dreams and aspirations of her passengers who each boarded with stories and personal ambitions of their own. All innocently unaware of the fate awaiting them, the Third Class immigrants dream of a better life in America, the Second Class imagine they too can join the lifestyles of the rich and famous, whilst the millionaire Barons of the First Class anticipate legacies lasting forever.
Everything about the show was amazing. The set, the costumes and the extremely talented actors. I think I counted a cast of around 25 with some playing multiple roles of 1st, 2nd and 3rd class passengers. There were a few moments that really stuck out for me. Firstly when they first see the iceberg right ahead, it was such a strong and gripping performance. I had tears in my eyes. Obviously as it's a true story you can only imagine how hard it was for them all at that moment. Secondly the sinks sinking. I wasn't sure how they would do this, no spoilers here but it was really good.

The running time of the show was approx 2hrs 35 including a 20 minute interval.
I do want to add that the musical is not like the movie. If you are expecting a love story between Jack and Rose you will be disappointed.
We loved Titanic The Musical and would definitely recommend it to all.
