GPAC’s 2003-2004 Special Events starts off with Saturday Night Fever – The Musical on Nov. 7 at 8 p.m.

Ticket prices are $30 for adults and $10 for children and students.

The phenomenally successful 1977 film inspired Saturday Night Fever, which features songs from the legendary soundtrack by the Bee Gees.

The performance tells of the streetwise New York City story of an ambitious, talented Brooklyn kid named Tony Manero. Tony was a directionless, young paint store clerk who lived only for his weekend dancing. Tony had many problems with family relationships, no money and a lack of opportunity, and yet he burned with a desire to achieve something with his life.

Saturday Night Fever is filled with hit songs that helped launch the 1970s disco-dancing craze, including “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” “How Deep Is Your Love?,” “You Should Be Dancing,” “If I Can’t Have You” and “Jive Talkin’.”

Also incorporated are hits “Tragedy” and “What Kind of Fool,” as well as two songs written especially for the stage: “Immortality” and “First and Last.”

Featuring talented singers and dancers, Saturday Night Fever’s cast brings this story to life. Hit disco songs make this show the perfect pick for families and audiences of all generations.
From the crazy disco music to the big bell-bottoms, Saturday Night Fever will have you “shaking your groove thing” long before the end of the first scene.

So what are you waiting for? Go get your groovy bell-bottoms and butterfly collars on and come out to relive the 1970s.
