Ariana Grande attended the Broadway production of *Titanique* over the weekend, a musical that creatively reinterprets the iconic 1997 film *Titanic* using the music of Céline Dion. The visit was particularly special, as it coincided with Mother’s Day, allowing Ariana to spend quality time with her mother, Joan Grande, who is a co-producer of the show. This occasion also marked a family reunion, as Ariana’s brother, Frankie Grande, is a cast member, starring alongside notable performers including Melissa Barrera, Jim Parsons, and Deborah Cox.

In a post, she described *Titanique* as “the best show ever,” while tagging various cast members, including Marla Mindelle, who plays Céline Dion.
Ariana’s support for *Titanique* is not a new phenomenon.

Notably, Ariana made the trip to the St. James Theatre in New York City amid rehearsals for her upcoming tour, *Eternal Sunshine*, which is set to begin next month in Oakland, California.
The timing of Ariana’s visit is significant, as *Titanique* is contending for multiple awards at the upcoming 2026 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Marla Mindelle’s performance has garnered her a nomination for Best Actress in a Musical, further enhancing the production’s visibility within the theatre community. The awards ceremony will take place just a day after Ariana’s tour kicks off.
In her keen praise for the musical, Ariana expressed her admiration on Instagram, highlighting the show’s combination of humour and musical talent. The singer quipped that she laughed harder than ever and listened to some of the most beautiful voices she had encountered.

She referred to *Titanique* as “the BEST MUSICAL ever,” echoing the sentiments shared by her daughter. The bond between the Grande family was apparent, particularly as they celebrated Mother’s Day together amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the theatre.
Originally starting as a cult favourite, *Titanique* has transitioned into a larger production at a 1,700-seat venue on Broadway. It has incorporated elements from its previous runs while expanding its target audience. Notable figures from various entertainment backgrounds have joined as co-producers, including members of *NSYNC and popular podcasters, enhancing the show’s profile even further.
Under the direction of co-creator Tye Blue, *Titanique* has maintained its cheeky, irreverent nature while appealing to a wider audience. The production integrates beloved hits from Céline Dion’s repertoire, ensuring that fans of her music will be treated to an evening filled with nostalgia. Iconic lines from *Titanic* are embellished with comedic flair, allowing for memorable moments intertwined with heartfelt tributes to the original film.
The production runs until September 20, highlighting just how far *Titanique* has come since its humble beginnings.
