Put on your “boogie shoes”, throw on some sequins and prepare to have Night Fever!
Good news for all musical lovers! The all-time Bee Gees’ smash hit musical, Saturday Night Fever, will be live on stage at Istana Budaya Kuala Lumpur from this September 4th to 13th!
Saturday Night Fever, a musical adaptation of a spectacular film of the same name, tells the story of Tony Manero, a young Italian-American man with a talent to dance. Played superbly by John Travolta, Tony is determined to become a Disco King. When he meets Stephanie Mangano, who also dreams of a life beyond the city, they decide to train together for a dance competition.
The film has successfully widened the disco phenomenon worldwide and revived a genre that critics believed was about to run its course. Today, mention the word ‘disco’ and one will immediately think of Saturday Night Fever; such is the impact the film had left behind. Who can forget that iconic scene of John Travolta executing the point and strut with flair and feeling? The dance “Do the Hustle” became an overnight craze; a dance move that defines an era and up till today the move was never forgotten.
The success of Saturday Night Fever is also amplified by the involvement of Bee Gees hit classics such as “Night Fever”, “Stayin’ Alive”, “How Deep is Your Love”, “If I Can’t Have You”, “Jive Talkin” and “More Than a Woman”.
Saturday Night Fever was more than an entertaining, cult favourite film; it became the very definition of how music, dance and pop culture can come together and redefine an era even in the passing of time.
It would be 21 years before the movie will end up on stage, premiering at London’s West End in 1998 and New York’s Broadway in 1999. Since then, Saturday Night Fever has been one of the longest running musical ever to date, seen by over 10 million people with over 2,800 shows in more than 20 countries.
The first premiere of Saturday Night Fever the Musical in Kuala Lumpur was back in 2004, which was a sold out show. This 2015 production will be imbued with a slight contemporary edge while retaining the film’s grittiness and realistic portrayal of the disco era and the entertainment value of its music and dance moves. After all, there is a reason why the movie remains a cult favourite even after 38 years have passed since the film was released—it has that timeless appeal that will withstand the test of time. It is after all the all-time Bee Gees’ Smash Hit Musical! It is a legacy of how one movie, one music and one dance defines one era!
