Posted on
New production photos have been released of comedian and presenter [**Tom Allen**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/news/tom-allen-boards-olivier-award-winning-titanique-for-a-six-week-engagement) in the Olivier Award-winning musical comedy *Titanique*, playing at the [Criterion Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/criterion-theatre-london) 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.*
