William Hanson to join TITANIQUE in West End debut plus show extension announced
New cast members have been announced to join their must sea splash hit, the Olivier Award-winning Titanique at London’s Criterion Theatre, which has also extended booking to January 2027 today due to phenomenal demand.
William Hanson, etiquette coach and co-host of award-winning podcast Help I Sexted My Boss, which has over 100 million streams, is set to join the cast for six weeks from 9 June-19 July* playing Ruth.
On joining the show, Hanson said: “Quite how I’ve ended up boarding Titaníque, I’m not entirely sure. One minute I’m teaching the world table manners on social media, the next I’m in a sequinned fever dream somewhere in the Piccadilly Circus part of the North Atlantic. Titanique is gloriously bonkers, outrageously funny, and exactly the sort of theatrical chaos I adore. I’m thrilled to be joining this sensational cast and have already begun practising the most important skill for the voyage: judging the other passengers from afar.”
New to London’s ship of dreams along with William Hanson* as Ruth are Lewis Francis as The Iceberg and Nikki Wheeldon as Molly Brown, with AJ Lewis and Joi Lurrie as on-stage background vocalists, and Finton Flynn, Josh Lovell and Charlotte Soo as offstage understudies.
They join existing cast members Rose Galbraith as Rose, Astrid Harris as Céline Dion, Freddie King as Jack (previously offstage understudy), Cameron Vear as Cal (previously offstage understudy), Michael Vinsen as Victor Garber/Luigi, and on-stage background vocalist Corrine Priest.
*Further casting for Ruth from 19 July is to be announced.
