Award-winning comedian, host and author Tom Allen adds another string to his bow. It has been confirmed that he will be joining the cast The musical Titanic in London for a limited six-week period.
Tom will play the role of Ruth from March 6 to April 12, 2026, excluding March 24, April 3-5. Speaking about his new venture, Tom said: “I saw this show when it first opened, and I loved it so much I had to watch it again almost immediately. The laughs and camp spoofing are addictive and just what the world needs right now. I’m incredibly honored to be joining this extremely talented cast and can’t wait to get aboard my lifeboat exercise, can’t you!?”
Thanks to his signature sharp wit and outrageous storytelling, Tom has cemented himself as a household name with TV credits including Cooking With The Stars, Bake Off: An Extra Discand Apprentice: You’re fired. He is also the author of two critically acclaimed memoirs No shame and Too muchwith his first book of fiction, common decency, will be released in May 2026.
Titanic recently celebrated its one-year anniversary in the West End. The current cast includes Astrid Harris as Céline Dion, Luke Bayer as Jack, Rose Galbraith as Rose, Richard Carson as Cal, Ryan Carter as Iceberg, Charlotte Wakefield as Molly Brown, Michael Vinsen as Victor Garber/Luigi and Carl Mullaney as Ruth (returning on April 14).
They are joined by Corrine Priest, Madison Swan and Damien Winchester as background singers on stage, and Freddie King, Caitlin Tipping and David Ouch as understudies off stage.
The spoof musical is an Olivier Award-winning, global sensation, which has received rave reviews following sold-out productions in London’s West End, Off-Broadway and in nine cities worldwide. Titanic is a crazy production that hilariously recreates the story of Titanic through the eyes (and music) of icon Céline Dion. The show follows Céline as she tells the audience what “really happened” on the ship, while singing some of her most famous hits, including “My Heart Will Go On”, “I’m Alive” and “Taking Chances”.
A recently announced Broadway production of the show opens for a 16-week run at the St. James Theater on March 26. The cast will feature co-creators Marla Mindelle and Constantine Rousouli as Céline Dion and Jack Dawson respectively, The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons as Ruth, Deborah Cox as Molly Brown and Frankie Grande as Victor Garber/Luigi.
