ROCKLAND — The five-time Tony Award-winning production Titanic the Musical, captured live on stage in London for cinema screenings, will be presented at the Strand Theatre on August 5 - 7. Showtimes are Tuesday, Aug. 5, at 7 p.m.; Wednesday, Aug. 6, at 3 p.m.; and Thursday, Aug. 7, at 1 p.m. 

In the final hours of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic, on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, collided with an iceberg and ‘the unsinkable ship’ slowly sank. It was one of the most tragic disasters of the 20th Century. Fifteen hundred seventeen men, women, and children lost their lives. 

Based on real people aboard the most legendary ship in the world, Titanic the Musical is a stirring production focusing on the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of her passengers, who each boarded with stories and personal ambitions of their own. All innocently unaware of the fate awaiting them, the Third-Class immigrants dream of a better life in America, the Second Class imagine they too can join the lifestyles of the rich and famous, whilst the millionaire Barons of the First Class anticipate legacies lasting forever. 

The original Broadway production of Titanic the Musical won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. This production celebrates the 10th anniversary of its London premiere, where it won sweeping critical acclaim.  

Running time is 2 hours, 35 minutes including one intermission.
