Myra DuBois Joins Titanique at Criterion Theatre This September
South Yorkshire Star Brings Fresh Energy to Criterion Theatre Production
Comedy royalty is heading to Piccadilly this autumn as Myra DuBois, the self-proclaimed South Yorkshire Siren, prepares to join the cast of the Olivier Award-winning sensation Titanique. The multi-talented performer will take on the coveted role of Ruth for a strictly limited six-week engagement, running from 1 September through 11 October 2026 at the Criterion Theatre on Piccadilly.
DuBois brings an impressive portfolio to the West End stage. The award-winning comedian, singer, and actress reached the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent and has starred in the film adaptation of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie alongside screen work on ITV1’s Queens For The Night, where she secured a mentor victory. Her theatre credentials are equally impressive, having previously appeared in Death Drop at the Garrick Theatre and taken her solo shows across prestigious venues from Edinburgh Fringe to Sydney Opera House.
Upon seeing Titanique before signing on, DuBois expressed genuine enthusiasm about the opportunity, describing her theatre experience as among the best she’s had, praising the show for delivering ‘gales of laughter from start to finish.’
What Locals Need to Know About This West End Must-See
For theatre-goers across London, Titanique represents a rare breed of West End production—a show that consistently delivers both critical acclaim and genuine audience enjoyment. The musical comedy, which reimagines the iconic Titanic film story through the music of Céline Dion, has built a global reputation since its Off-Broadway debut in 2022, spawning sold-out runs in New York, Paris, Sydney, Montreal, and Toronto.
The show’s credentials speak volumes. It claimed the 2025 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and made its Broadway debut at the prestigious St. James Theatre in March 2026, receiving four Tony Award nominations including Best Musical. Here in London, audiences have embraced its irreverent humour and killer vocals featuring Dion classics like My Heart Will Go On, All by Myself, and To Love You More.
The Criterion Theatre itself, positioned at 218–223 Piccadilly near iconic london attractions like Trafalgar Square, offers an intimate West End experience. With booking open through January 2027, DuBois’s limited six-week run provides theatre enthusiasts a specific window to catch this acclaimed performer in what she describes as ‘the role of a lifetime.’
How to Secure Your Tickets and Plan Your Visit
If you’re considering joining the thousands experiencing Titanique’s theatrical brilliance, here’s what you should know. The production remains available for booking until January 2027, though DuBois’s tenure is strictly limited to her September–October window. Given the show’s reputation for sell-out performances and the popularity of featured performers, advance booking is strongly recommended.
The Criterion Theatre sits conveniently in London’s entertainment heartland on Piccadilly, accessible via multiple transport links and surrounded by the West End’s dining and hospitality options. Whether you’re a seasoned theatre patron or seeking a night of accessible, laugh-filled entertainment, Titanique offers something genuinely different from typical musical fare.
Tickets can be reserved through official theatre booking channels, with performances running throughout the week. DuBois will hand over the Ruth role to a successor from 11 October onwards, with further casting announcements forthcoming. The current ensemble includes Lewis Francis as The Iceberg, Rose Galbraith as Rose, and other talented performers who’ve earned their own loyal followings. For Londoners seeking quality entertainment that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this limited engagement represents a genuine opportunity worth prioritising in your theatre calendar.
