Probably the most famous dramatic recreation of the ill-fated voyage of the Titanic is the James Cameron film that starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. It was released in 1997, the same year that a musical version of the story debuted on Broadway. With music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book by Peter Stone, Titanic: the Musical was warmly received by critics and at the box office. It won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
