Titaníque alumni Russell Daniels and Terrence Williams Jr., who both appeared in the off-Broadway cast, will join the Broadway cast.

For two weeks, beginning August 1, Daniels will cover the role of Ruth Dewitt Bukater, usually played by Emmy Award winner and Tony nominee Jim Parsons. Parsons will return to the show on August 17. Williams will make his Broadway debut as a vacation swing.

Co-written by Tye Blue, Marla Mindelle, and Constantine Rousouli, the Olivier Award-winning musical comedy Titaníque is a reimagining of the Oscar-winning movie Titanic from the perspective of Céline Dion, using her music. The production, directed by co-creator Tye Blue, with choreography by Ellenore Scott, continues its limited engagement at the St. James Theatre through September 20.

The current cast stars Olivier and Lortel Award-winning co-creator Marla Mindelle as Céline Dion, Jim Parsons as Ruth Dewitt Bukater, Melissa Barrera as Rose DeWitt Bukater, Grammy-nominated singer Deborah Cox as Unsinkable Molly Brown, original cast member Frankie Grande as Victor Garber, Olivier Award-winning co-creator Constantine Rousouli as Jack Dawson, Lortel Award nominee John Riddle as Cal Hockley, and Olivier Award-winning West End star Layton Williams as the Iceberg. Sara Gallo, Polanco Jones, and Kristina Leopold are featured as the background vocalists, and Tess Marshall, Brad Greer, and Kyle Ramar Freeman complete the cast as understudies.
