First Look: Tom Allen Joins Titanique at the Criterion Theatre
Published on 10 March 2026
New production photos have been released of comedian and presenter Tom Allen in the Olivier Award-winning musical comedy Titanique, playing at the Criterion Theatre in London.
Allen has joined the cast in the role of Ruth and will perform until Sunday 12 April 2026. The new images, photographed by Mark Senior, offer a first look at his turn in the gloriously camp parody of the blockbuster film Titanic, set to the iconic hits of Celine Dion.
The splash-hit musical continues its hugely successful West End run at the Criterion Theatre, where it has recently extended booking through to 30 August 2026 due to phenomenal demand.
Allen previously shared his excitement about joining the production, saying he loved the show so much when he first saw it that he returned almost immediately. He praised its “laughs and camp spoofing” and said he was “beyond honoured” to join the talented company.
The current cast also includes Luke Bayer as Jack, Richard Carson as Cal, Ryan Carter as The Iceberg, Rose Galbraith as Rose, Astrid Harris as Céline Dion, Michael Vinsen as Victor Garber/Luigi and Charlotte Wakefield as Molly Brown.
Packed with nostalgia, powerhouse vocals and Dion’s greatest hits including My Heart Will Go On, Titanique has become one of the West End’s most joyful and outrageous musical comedies.
Please note, Tom is not scheduled to perform on Tuesday 24th March, Friday 3rd April, Saturday 4th April or Sunday 5th April 2026.
