Audiences
will be captivated by the legendary disco choreography, the glittering costumes
and retro hairstyles, in all its groovy glory—amid the dramatic backdrops of
New York, the Manhattan skyline and the pulsating strobe lights of the infamous
retro '70s disco era; the full set being brought all the way from Broadway to
our doorsteps.
Based on the wildly popular 1970s film that defined
the disco phenomenon and starring Oscar-nominee John Travolta, Saturday Night Fever depicts the
uncompromisingly sordid 1970’s New York that not only made a dance revolution
at that time, but also spoke straight to a generation of lost, struggling young
adults.
The story centres onTony Manero, an Italian-American
young man with a dead-end job and an extraordinary ability to dance. Every
Saturday night at a local discotheque, Tony donshis flares and struts his stuff;
capturing all eyes through his stylish moves on the dance floor. He has only
one ambition in life - to become the disco king. When he meets Stephanie, who
also dreams of a world beyond Brooklyn, they decide to train together for a
dance competition and their lives begin to change forever.
The feature film Saturday
Night Fever was nominated for four Golden Globes: Best Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy, Best Motion Picture Actor - Musical/Comedy (John Travolta), Best Original Score, and Best
Original Song for "How Deep is Your Love?". The film was also nominated at the Writers
Guild of America (WGA) Award for Best Drama Written Directly for the Screen and
BAFTA award for Best Sound.
Its definitive soundtrack by the Bee Gees remains the
best-selling motion picture soundtrack of all time and has won the original
movie numerous Grammys - Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group, Album of the
Year, Best Arrangement for Voices, Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or
Group, and Producer of the Year. In 2004 The Bee Gees were given a Grammy Hall
of Fame Award for the soundtrack to Saturday
Night Fever. "Stayin' Alive" was ranked by the American Film
Institute as the 9th Greatest Movie Song of All Time in the same year.
Premiered in the West End at the London Palladium in
1998 and Broadway at the Minskoff Theatre in 1999, the spectacular musical Saturday Night Fever has been seen by
over 10 million people with over 2,800 shows in more than 20 countries across
the globe, thrilling theatre and music buffs alike throughout the years.As one
of the longest running musical, Saturday Night fever is still actively on world
tour up to this very date ; bridging the young and old with a common interest
of a fantastic musical performance.
