Saturday Night Fever
By Angela Ash
SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER THE MUSICAL will be playing at the Derby Dinner Playhouse through March 29th, so don't wait to travel back to the disco era and the iconic music of the Bee Gees. You're going to love every second of this energetic performance, filled with friendship, love, a little danger and the power of dance.
SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER THE MUSICAL is based on the Paramount film and the story by Nik Cohn. The musical was adapted for the stage by Robert Stigwood in collaboration with Bill Oakes. Derby Dinner’s production is under the direction of Lee Buckholz with choreography by Heather Paige Folsom and Musical Direction by Scott Bradley.
When a kid from Brooklyn decides that it's high time to rise above his current situation and do something that he loves in the process, he decides to enter a dance competition. And in the process of creating the perfect number, he might just meet the perfect girl. But the city is rough in the '70s, and uncontrollable events can change the entire story at a moment's notice, testing his will to "stay alive."
This brilliantly talented cast includes Zach Perrin, Stephanie Inglese, Matt Petromilli, Joey Banigan, Cami Glauser, Kylan Ross, Rhett Warner, Will Callahan, Katelyn Webb, Dick Baker, Bobby Conte, Clay Smith, Jillian Prefach, Paul McElroy, Brittany Cox, Zachary Boone, Embry Thielmeier, Em Varney, Cesar Mendoza, Avery Draper Davis, Kevin Crain and Timm Charlton.
Expect some of the best choreography and dance numbers that you've ever seen on the DDP stage, set to some of the most memorable songs from that fun-loving decade, including “How Deep Is Your Love,” “You Should Be Dancing,” “Jive Talkin,” “Staying Alive” and “More Than A Woman.”
Zach Perrin completely embodies the role of Tony, making the character believable and relatable, with remarkable onstage chemistry with Stephanie Inglese. And during the dance competition, don't even blink, or you'll miss a remarkable performance from Brittany Cox!
Be sure not to miss the Footnotes, DDP's special musical hosts and hostesses, who offer pre-show entertainment, full of memorable numbers. This collection surprises the audience with several solos, shining a spotlight on the vocal prowess of these talented performers!
