ROLES:
We are looking to cast 20-25 adults and a few children. Unlike a certain movie, the musical doesn't focus on a single pair of characters. Instead, it tells the story of the Titanic's spectacular launch and tragic fate by letting the audience get to know and sympathize with members of every segment of society involved: the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class passengers, as well as the various echelons of the ship's crew. In short, it's an ensemble piece where everybody has great moments in the proverbial spotlight.
