Overview
- Parsons and the Titanique cast delivered a over-two-minute performance of “Chances” and “My Heart Will Go On” at the Tony Awards on Sunday, bringing his onstage character to a national audience.
- He appeared fully in character with a burgundy pantsuit, pink sash and trim, pearl jewelry, stage makeup, and an elaborate headpiece featuring two white doves.
- Titanique entered the night with four Tony nominations, including Best Musical and acting nods for Marla Mindelle and Layton Williams, but did not win any awards.
- Parsons, who began his run at the St. James Theatre in March and is scheduled there through September 20, has called Titanique the most fun show of his career and has said he would not reprise Sheldon Cooper in a reboot.
- The televised Tony performance gave Titanique a major promotional moment that highlights cross-gender casting on Broadway and could boost ticket sales and public interest during its summer run.
