At the St. James Theatre, 246 W. 44th St. The strange and scrappy voyage of “Titanique,” the feel-great musical-comedy sendup of the movie “Titanic” and singer Celine Dion, has been a wonder to behold.

movie review THE DRAMA Running time: 106 minutes. Rated R. In theaters April 3. Good thing it’s called “The Drama.” A nice name like “The Wedding” would be extremely misleading. Even “The Couple” could end up a date-night disaster. Titling this oddity “The Drama” is, at least, not a bait and switch. Still, I wouldn’t be surprised … Read more
