Kevin Fallon dives headfirst into Broadway’s most gloriously unhinged sensation, Titanique, with the freshly Tony-nominated masterminds behind the hit musical: Marla Mindelle, Constantine Rousouli, and director Tye Blue. From drunken dinner-theater beginnings and rat-infested basement performances to Broadway triumph and global acclaim, the trio shares the outrageous true story behind the campy, queer, Céline Dion-fueled phenomenon that became an unlikely theatrical sensation. They reveal what it’s really like building a cult hit, the celebrities who became obsessed with the show—including RuPaul, Margot Robbie, and Amy Poehler—and whether the real Céline Dion has finally seen the musical inspired by her legendary ballads. Plus, Daily Beast chief film critic Nick Schager joins Kevin for a spirited debate over The Devil Wears Prada 2, unpacking the sequel’s nostalgia, fashion, and surprisingly sharp commentary on journalism, culture, and power.
