Titanic, tour, Ahmanson Theatre - LA (1999)

Cast: William Parry (Capt. E. J. Smith), David Pittu (William Murdoch), and the rest of the great touring cast

Wow... Everyone I took to this show (from San Diego) says they'll trust me to pick shows again, but I will be very careful in the future. I thought with Titanic winning the best musical Tony award and others that it would be a great show.

Everyone in my group was totally unimpressed. The music, lyrics, sets, and lighting are all way below what one expects of your average Broadway show, so we can't imagine how it managed to win the Tony award for best musical. All I can think is that it was a really bad Broadway season. I love stories about the Titanic. I've always been fascinated with the story, so I thought a musical based on this would be perfect for me. Titanic did not live up to these expectations.

I will definitely be wary of anything with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston in the future. The book of the musical by Peter Stone was also lacking.

My advice: Stay away from Titanic. Let it sink and see something else!
