The celebrated musical SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER will have its opening night at the Sydney Lyric Theatre on Tuesday 2nd April, 2019, twenty years after its opening on Broadway.
Despite productions in Argentina, Holland, Spain, Germany and South Africa, to name but a few, Sydney’s exclusive season will be unique. Thinking out of left field the producers wanted to add something special to this ode to disco so they reached out to Australia’s disco queen, Marcia Hines. She accepted and sings two of her pop charting songs to add that little more oomph to the show.
The cast is packed full of award winning members as well as familiar faces. The show stars Euan Doidge of Priscilla fame, Bobby Fox, the Jersey Boys lead, Paulini, Melanie Hawkins, the lead dancer, ‘Tim O Matic’, Omaji, Natalie Conway and Nana Matapule
John Frost, the Executive producer, indicated that this production will have a greater emphasis on the dancing. Nevertheless the grittier parts of the musical, based on a story by Nik Cohn will not be overlooked.
