Theatre Royal: Saturday Night Fever

A brand new production of iconic musical Saturday Night Fever, one of the most loved dance stories of all time, will appear at the Theatre Royal Brighton

Featuring a 20-strong cast of hugely talented actor/musicians, this spectacular new staging of Saturday Night Fever is packed with legendary hits from the Bee Gees, including the classics ‘Stayin’ Alive’, ‘Night Fever’, ‘Jive Talking’, ‘How Deep is Your Love?’ and ‘You Should Be Dancing’.

The date is 1976 and in New York, Tony Manero, a young man from a tough Brooklyn neighbourhood with a dead-end job and an extraordinary ability to dance, has only one ambition – to become the disco king. Every Saturday night, Tony dons his flares and hits the dance floor, creating a stir as he wows the crowds with his phenomenal moves and routines. When he meets Stephanie, who also dreams of a world beyond Brooklyn, and they decide to train together for a dance competition, their lives begin to change forever.

The smash hit 1977 film Saturday Night Fever starring Oscar-nominee John Travolta inspired the definitive soundtrack by the Bee Gees, and popularised disco around the world. The multi Grammy Award winning music behind the film, combined with its gripping storyline, captured the imagination of millions.

The role of Tony Manero is played by Danny Bayne on stage, who made his West End debut as Danny Zuko in the musical Grease at London’s Piccadilly Theatre after winning ITV’s Grease Is The Word. He starred in the West End for two years and performed the role on tour. He returns to the role of Tony Manero after touring the US in Saturday Night Fever. A talented dancer, he has achieved the status of British Champion in Freestyle, Hip Hop, Latin American and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Come and strut your stuff at the Theatre Royal Brighton as Saturday Night Fever hits the stage for one week only, between Tuesday 3 – Saturday 7 March.
