Disaster - The '70s Musical
Earthquakes, tidal waves, towering infernos and the unforgettable songs of the ‘70’s take center stage in “DISASTER,” Broadway’s side splitting send-up of the 1970s disaster film genre. With a book by three-time Emmy Award nominee and SiriusXM On Broadway host, Seth Rudetsky, and Jack Plotnick – “DISASTER” features such hits as “Knock on Wood,” “I Will Survive,” “Sky High,” “Hooked on a Feeling,” and “Hot Stuff.” It’s 1979, and New York’s hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino discotheque. Along for the adventure is a faded disco star, a sexy nightclub singer with her 11-year old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a big secret, an untrustworthy businessman, and a nun with a gambling addiction. What begins as a night of “boogie fever” quickly escalates to panic as the ship succumbs to a series of comical disasters. As night turns to day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love they’ve lost… or at lease escape the piranhas and killer rats. Performances April 12th - May 6th.
