Embark on a journey through the gritty streets of 1950s New York City, where rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, clash in a fierce battle for dominance and survival. The score is punctuated with hits: “America,” “Tonight,” “Maria,” “I Feel Pretty,” and the enduring “Somewhere.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">This performance will be performed with Spanish and English captions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Tickets are on sale now at <a href="https://my.cbusarts.com/overview/7034?_gl=1*ueu5q0*_ga*Mzg1NjQxODIuMTcyNjYxMTA4Mw..*_ga_EQH1VECETF*MTcyNjYxMTA4Mi4xLjEuMTcyNjYxMjQ0My4wLjAuMA..*_gcl_au*MTM2MzQ5NzI2MC4xNzI2NjExMDgz*_ga_EEV6ESYB1B*MTcyNjYxMTA4Mi4xLjEuMTcyNjYxMjQ0My4wLjAuMA.." style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);">CbusArts.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><b><u><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Titanic the Musical<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Saturday, May 10, 2025 @ 2:00 p.m.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">(Columbus Children’s Theatre)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Lincoln Theatre<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">769 E.

Billed as “The Largest Floating Object in The World,” the Titanic is already big news. April 15, 1912: Titanic, the “unsinkable” ship, sinks, killing over 1500 men, women and children. Spanning all classes, Titanic captures the stories from the whole range of humanity aboard the ship: from workers in the boiler room to first-class attendants, from the poorest passengers, who scraped together their life savings to purchase third-class tickets to America, to some of the wealthiest men of the Victorian age, including John Jacob Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim. Full of memorable characters based on the real men and women on the ship, Titanic is a powerful, complex look at the making of a tragedy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Tickets are not yet on sale for this event but will be available for purchase from <a href="https://www.cbusarts.com/" style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);">CbusArts.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">If you have any difficulties with the website, please call the box office at 614-469-0939. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Requests for services can be granted two weeks in advance of performances.
