Canceled - The Spring 2022 Run of Titanic

As a result of breakthrough COVID-19 cases within the cast, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remaining performances of Titanic The Musical. Even with understudies and swings, given the number of people that have tested positive, we no longer have enough performers to stage the show. Due to artist availability, we are unable to extend the production. We know this is deeply disappointing news not only for our patrons but for the hundreds of Rep employees that have worked so hard on this production.

Titanic tickets for cancelled performances will be automatically refunded. If you have any questions please contact the Ticket Office at tickets@milwaukeerep.com or 414-224-9490. Thank you for understanding.


The Dreams She Carried Were Unsinkable

Winner of five Tony Awards, Titanic The Musical is a stirring and unforgettable account of the first and last days of the ship of dreams. This epic musical features real stories of people aboard the most legendary ship in the world from third-class immigrants dreaming of a better tomorrow to first class passengers living a life of fame and fortune. Rarely produced due to its size and complexity, this stunning and majestic musical sails into the intimate Quadracci Powerhouse for the theatrical event of the year!
