Saturday night fever stage show sydney

This new production of Saturday Night Fever, based on the cult 1977 film starring John Travolta, is an original French adaptation directed by Stèphane Jarny.

It’s a calculated sensory overload designed to overwhelm rather than entertain. And while it gives you a touch of the magic you want, it seems to hold back on what you really need from this story: characters you can believe in, narrative tension, actual musical theatre.

The first thing that hits you is the lights: they pour out over the audience like you’re at a major pop concert, obscuring and distorting your vision.

When police sirens flare, you’re bathed in urgent blue and red, and there are countless disco balls.

Sydney will strut to SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER in a blazing stage show that propels the cult classic to phenomenal new heights from 29 March 2019.

The set is largely built on LED screens; Brooklyn brownstones fly past like background animation.

The second is a tsunami of sound: loud, occasionally without clarity, but always with a great deal of force (Dave Skelton is the musical director).

The band is working overtime but it’s so much work that it hits the ear as noise. The ‘Star Vocalist
