Titanic The Musical, is set to perform in Belfast on the exact minute the ill fated ship sank, 100 years on.
Described by Newsletter as a "proud and dignified" performance, audiences will be overwhelmed by the creation, which takes you through the experiences of both survivors and victims of the most famous voyages of all time.
Performed by the Belfast Operatic Company, they will cap-off a week's worth of shows with a final gala performance that will have curtains up at exactly 11.40pm on April 14th 2012, exactly 100 years after the ship sank.
The show won five Tony awards since it was debuted on New York's Broadway, with critics from the Belfast Telegraph describing it as setting a "new benchmark for amateur or indeed musical theatre in general with their production of one of Belfast's greatest stories.
Maury Yeston was guest of honour at Belfast Operatic’s Irish premiere of Titanic the Musical in 2005 when it picked up the Association of Irish Musical Societies’ awards for Best Overall Show, Best Director, Best Musical Director, Best Chorus and Best Male Singer.
Locals and visitors that are visiting the city for the anniversary will surely be looking to include the performance in their itinerary, which will be showing from 10th April to 14th April at the Grand Opera House.
