Viewers of the WHS Musical “Titanic” expressed bitterness last Friday after seeing the performance and discovering that there was, in fact, no nude scene anywhere in the play. Said one student, “I saw the movie, and they showed like full frontal nudity there, so I was really looking forward to the play. But there wasn’t even partial nudity in this play. They didn’t even mention drawings of French girls!”
The Wissahickon Theatre Company performed the musical, based off the Broadway musical “Titanic,” on March 4, 5, and 6. Although it was very successful, marketing of the play labored under misconceptions about the musical’s similar to the popular 1997 movie. One of the film’s most famous scenes occurs when Jack, a poor artist played by Leonardo DiCaprio, draws Rose, a rich woman played by Kate Winslet, “like one of his French girls” – totally nude.
Many students, unfamiliar with the musical’s actual plot, were disappointed to see the scene cut. “I mean, some of those chorus girls are pretty hot,” one student quipped. “I didn’t want to miss a chance at seeing one of them nude, at school nonetheless! But it never happened.”
Previous viewers of the movie were also disappointed by the nonappearance of various other scenes: the “I’m flying, Jack!” moment, the submarine investigation of the sunken ship, and the spitting contest. Especially missed was the famous song, “My heart will go on.”
For some nude-scene hopefuls, this year was the third strike. As one put it, “ ‘The Mikado’ had a scene with ‘three little girls from school.’ ‘Les Misérables’ had a full dance number with whores. And then ‘Titanic’ – This had to be the year. But it just wasn’t meant to be.”
Still, viewers expressed high hopes for next year’s musical. “Maybe they’ll do ‘Oklahoma’ next year,” one student said. “I’ve heard some good thinks about country western girls…”
