Joyful musical Titanique puts Celine Dion centre stage

Imagine if singer Celine Dion had been on the Titanic, survived and wanted to revisit her version of events.

- 

That is the premise of the musical Titanique that has opened in London's West End.

Featuring the Canadian diva's back catalogue, the show's lighthearted tone is a break with previous, more sombre accounts of the story of the ocean liner that hit an iceberg and sank in 1912.

It blends elements from the plot of the 1997 movie Titanic, which starred actors Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as lovers Rose and Jack, and other pop culture references.
