Saturday Night Fever The MusicalSaturday Night Fever at The Apollo Victoria Theatre, 17 Wilton Road, London Once a week, after six full days of work in a Brooklyn paint store, Tony Manero splashes on the Brut, puts on his white flared suit and platform shoes; ceremonially preparing himself for the Saturday Night Fever that awaits him at the disco - Odyssey 2001... Picture the scene. Its New York, its the late 70s, youre in a discothque and as the heartstopping intro to one of your favourite funky hits strikes up, a man in a white suit, with beautifully angular flares and wearing a nifty pair of Cuban heels, struts his way through the crowd like a quiffed Moses parting the Red Sea of dance. This fly disco stallion then proceeds to move, twist and wiggle his way through a pantheon of classic tunes, making ladies flustered and men very, very jealous. That, ladies and gentlemen, happened twenty five years ago and an iconic piece of entertainment was born. |
