One thing about Danish kid's TV is the absolute UNHINGED energy the voice actors especially put into their work, like there is ZERO filter. And we love it.

Songs from the Titanic musical in a nutshell
As someone who was once in a production of this, I’ve wanted to do this for about a year and a half now
Overture/ In Every Age- IT’S A BOAT
How Did They Build the Titanic?- IT’S A BOAT
There She Is/Loading Inventory/The Largest Moving Object- IT’S A BOAT
I Must Get On That Ship- I MUST GET ON THAT BOAT
The 1st Class Roster- Eat the rich Hope to party with the rich
Godspeed Titanic- angelic goodbye from the BOAT
Barrett’s Song- keep in mind there are workers on this boat
To Be a Captain- Under Pressure
What a Remarkable Age This Is- friendly reminder that this takes place in 1912
Lady’s Maid- keep in mind there are poor people on this boat
The Proposal/The Night Was Alive- FEELS™/friendly reminder that this takes place in 1912
Doing the Latest Rag- friendly reminder that this takes place in 1912
I Have Danced- I did not each the rich, I partied with them instead
No Moon- as a crew, we collectively, cannot see a fucking thing
Autumn/Finale- you know what would go great with this little tune? Some impending danger!
Wake Up- the only thing more annoying than being woken up in the middle of the night is an even more annoying song ot accompany it
Dressed In Your Pajamas In the Grand Salon- wtf is going on
The Staircase- WATER
The Blame- EPIC TODDLER ARGUMENT™
To the Lifeboats/Getting In the Lifeboat- organized chaos
We’ll Meet Tomorrow- TEARS™
Still- JEWISH TEARS™™
To Be a Captain (reprise)- Under Pressure but someone else understands it
Mr. Andrews Vision- mental breakdown time
Epilogue: In Every Age (reprise)/ FInale- TEARS™™™ THE END

I think the 2nd act of Titanic: A New Musical is far better than the 1st, EXCEPT. Right before the act 1 curtain close. With the guests downstairs blissfully ignorant of the tragedy about to strike, dancing and playing cards, while the eerie stillness of the night starts building up as the lookout struggles to make anything out through the darkness, and the happy sounds downstairs are slowly drowned out by the ever growing fear that something isn't quite right, that eventually the anxiety becomes all you can hear, until it's all suddenly cut short- dear mother of God. Iceberg, right ahead. And you're left with a few brief moments to take in the terror on their faces, before the lights cut out completely, and you're alone in the silent dark, knowing what's about to happen. Fucking excellent work.
^ the specific song I'm referencing here but it's probably better in-context than on its own (also probably helps when you can see the actors but oh well lol)

me: you’ve already used this exact turn of phrase two paragraphs ago, that’s too repetitive
me, an intellectual: if I use it three more times it becomes a motif
