She was asked many decades ago whether shed like to do it and said "no, not my thing". But now that she has seen a few shows - thanks to Pepe! - perhaps she'd change her mind.

Musical theatre people love her.

“To celebrate Céline Dion's 52nd birthday, and to commemorate the original video reaching 7 million views, here's an alternate take of Tony Award nominee Jeremy Jordan singing the Céline Dion classic "It's All Coming Back To Me Now." "Broadway Loves Céline Dion" played for two performances on January 9th of 2015, and the famous video is of the second performance, at 9:30PM. This video is of the first-ever performance of the song, at 7PM that night.

 

At the time, Jeremy was in tech rehearsals for a Sondheim revue, "A Good Thing Going: The Stephen Sondheim and Harold Prince Collaboration," which opened at the 92nd Street Y the following evening. Jeremy and I had rehearsed the song in December, before the holidays, and we'd send rehearsal tracks back and forth from band rehearsal, but, you can imagine, things were feeling a little rushed and crazed. He finished rehearsal on 92nd Street at 6PM and hopped in a cab across town to Feinstein's/54 Below. We only had time to run the song once in the Green Room with the background vocalists before the show was to begin. He and I went over a few notes quickly, and then I had to run downstairs to start the show. It was my first show as an Original Programming Producer at the venue, and the pressure was on. This number took place 50 minutes into the show, and when he took the stage, neither one of us were quite sure how it was all going to go. And then, something very magical happened. He knew the song *just* well enough to trust himself and let himself fly, and the music came to life! The two "Broadway Loves Céline Dion" concerts were smashing successes, with the entire cast boldly singing the heck out of Céline's ambitious repertoire, and it was the perfect kick-off to the year of concerts I would create at the venue. That contract also brought the "Broadway Princess Party" to life that August!

 

Later, when it came time to choose which performance video of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" would be uploaded to YouTube, we knew the 9:30PM performance had fewer obvious stumbles, and was a little more accurate lyrically. I made a few stealth edits to the 9:30, to make sure it sparkled, and released it into the world. I had a feeling people would think it was good fun, but, we had no idea what was about to happen. Within the first day of posting, the song's writer, Jim Steinman, had left us a note about loving the performance, and the video was picked up by dozens of blogs all over the internet, and was splashed all over Facebook and Twitter. For weeks it got wilder and wilder and bigger and bigger. Now, when Jeremy and I tour, people ALWAYS ask for the song. We very rarely do it because Jeremy worries we wouldn't be able to recreate the magic of us flying by the seat of our pants this night. The danger of us teetering on the edge in this footage is perhaps what makes it so fun and dynamic.

 

Either way, I'll be glad to perform it again someday. I'm so proud so many people have enjoyed the original video, and I'm thrilled to share this performance with you. I've always liked this version a little better - it's a little more serious overall, and the audio mix is a touch better. Let me know what you think! I'm thrilled, after 5 years, that I can share both versions and you all can share the thrill of that night with me again.”

OK I’m ready for a Céline musical now, please! (Or any musical, frankly, seeing as we aren’t actually getting any broadway until summer... 😔)

“Tony Award-winning producer Eva Price (Jagged Little Pill, Oklahoma!) and streaming platform Stellar have released a new trailer for the upcoming concert event TITANIQUE: THE MAIDEN VOYAGE CONCERT, which goes on sale today to the general public.

[...]

 

On Sunday, May 2, 2021 at 7:30PM ET, the virtual concert will give global audiences an exclusive preview of Titanique - the funny and irreverent new musical send-up of the blockbuster film Titanic, featuring the songs of pop icon Céline Dion - before it hits the New York City mainstage.

[...]

This special presentation of Titanique: The Maiden Voyage Concert follows the musical's sold-out pop-up concert engagements in Los Angeles and New York, which earned the show a 2019 BroadwayWorld Cabaret Award.”

Just did the stream test. Titanique is ready to launch at 7:30pm tonight. With the insanely talented cast from original Broadway casts, as well as the authors' obvious love for Celine and the movie Titanic, I have hopes that this will be a clever and fun parody. Fingers crossed!

It had its moments of brilliance but could still use a lot of work. It was crazy how Celine’s catalogue fit into the Jack/Rose Titanic story. It was completely bonkers with Cal and Jack having to lipsynch for their lives once the boat was sinking. Some very specific RuPaul’s Drag Race callbacks. But then again, they parodied very specific phrasing Celine does in certain songs. You’d have to be a hard core fan to get a lot of why what they were doing was funny.

Thank you for this.

I tried watching yesterday but they took it down earlier than I expected so missed out. Hopefully it comes back as a real live show in the near future. I wonder if it's something that would lend itself to more than just a concert treatment.

… and it’s getting press coverage.

But LOL, no 😆

 

“It is unclear if Dion herself is involved in the musical. CBS News has reached out to Dion's record labels for comment and is awaiting response.”

 

Lol wait! There will be no response from her useless team! It’s laughable.

Well, why would there be. She has nothing to do with this. Just a bunch of Broadway folk fangirling. (Though should be said, some of them are Tony-winning Broadway folk!)

Looks like some morning show coverage -

This entire thing seems to be a workshop to seek funding for a full-on Broadway production.
