Elaborate Concert Staging Of The Broadway Musical "Titanic" Coming Soon
Manhattan Concert Productions will present an elaborate concert staging of the 1997 Tony Award winning Broadway musical Titanic on February 17, 2014 at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall.
The concert will be directed by actor Don Stephenson (currently on Broadway in A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder), who appeared as Charles Clarke and later as Harold Bride in the original Broadway cast of the show.
Talented Creative Team
Liza Gennaro will provide choreography for the concert staging, while Titanic's original Broadway musical director and conductor Kevin Stites will repeat his role as music director. The concert will also feature Shawn Sagady's projection designs, lighting from Stephen Terry, and a set design by Narelle Sissons.
Casting has yet to be announced, but Manhattan Concert Productions has already stated that, like their previous concert version of Ragtime, this staging will also have a star-filled cast and a huge ensemble featuring more than 100 singers.
Ticket Information
Titanic tells the story of the famously "unsinkable" ship's first and final tragic voyage from the points of view of the ship's crew and passengers from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class. The musical has a score by Maury Yeston and a book by Peter Stone, both of whom won Tony Awards for their work. Tickets to the Titanic concert start at $50. To order, call 212-721-6500 or go to www.lincolncenter.org.
