Titanic : The Musical
Background
Titanic opened on April 23, 1997 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and ran for 804 performances and 26 previews, closing on March 21, 1999. Directed by Richard Jones with choreography by Lynne Taylor-Corbett, the cast included Michael Cerveris, Victoria Clark, and Brian d’Arcy James. Danny Burstein was a cast replacement. The lobby of the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre was redecorated for the production: the complete passenger list of the Titanic was painted on the walls, noting those who ultimately survived the disaster. The set encompassed three levels to help form the impression of the size of the ship. Orchestrator Jonathan Tunick won the first Tony Award for Best Orchestrations for his work on the score. The show received five Tony nominations, winning in all five categories, though the director, Richard Jones, was not nominated, nor were any of the performers.

About Us
A Titanic Undertaking
The Charity
One Off Performance Society (OOPS) was formed in 2010 with our charitable aim to bring the arts to the wider community. Our imagination was captured by the impending centenary of the Titanic disaster in April 2012 and as many of us had been involved with the epic show Titanic The Musical previously, we were keen to stage a tribute to those involved in the disaster.
The Show
We have secured the rights to perform Titanic and booked The Swan Theatre in Worcester so that we can stage the musical for the week of the centenary – our opening night being 100 years to the day that the Titanic set sail and our closing night being the day the magnificent ship sank.
