The seventies have returned to the Denver metro area, as all good decades do, in the form of a musical.
Disco-mania flourishes once again as “Saturday Night Fever: The Musical” comes to the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, beginning Feb. 25 and running through Mar. 9.
The play is a retelling of the well known 1977 film by the same name, in the story Tom Mareno, your average kid from Brooklyn is determined to become a big name in Manhattan.
“Saturday Night Fever” brings back all the songs that gave disco the life for which it is still so well known, songs like “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” “You Should Be Dancing,” “If I Can’t Have You” and, of course, “Jive Talkin’.”
The live version of Saturday Night Fever first showed at the Palladium in London’s West End in 1998, which was followed by the show’s run on Broadway from Sept. 1999 though Dec. 2000. The national tour began in Chicago in 2001.
This boss show is for all the foxy ladies and far-out guys looking for a night of outta-sight music and dancin’. And remember, jive turkeys are expressly not invited.
