The songs of Québécois nightingale Celine Dion are the stately vessel—or are they the iceberg?—in this campy spoof of James Cameron's 1997 romantic disaster film, written by Marla Mindelle (Sister Act) and Constantine Rousouli (Cruel Intentions) with director Tye Blue. After more than 1,000 performances Off Broafway, the ship sails onto the Main Stem this spring; original stars Mindelle, Rousouli and Frankie Grande are newly flanked by Jim Parsons (!) as meddling mother Ruth Dewitt Bukater and Deborah Cox as the ever-unsinkable Molly Brown. 

The much-beloved country star Dolly Parton brings her inspirational life story to the stage in a musical that charts the rise of the so-called "Backwoods Barbie" from extreme childhood poverty in East Tennessee to rhinestone-studded fame and fortune. Casting has not yet been announced.to the stage as a Broadway musical. Like Summer and The Cher Show before it, Dolly divides its central role into three parts, played by actresses of different ages—casting has not been finalized—but unlike other jukebox musicals, this one is autobiographical: Parton is co-writing the musical's book with TV writer-producer Maria J. Schlatter. Bartlett Sher directs and Mandy Moore choreographs.
