A TWENTY strong cast of hugely talented actor-musicians will be bringing the iconic musical Saturday Night Fever to life at Malvern Theatres.

One of the most loved dance stories of all time is set to appear at the theatre from Tuesday, February 3 to Saturday, February 7.

The show is packed full of legendary hits from the Bee Gees including Stayin’ Alive, Night Fever, Jive Talking, You Should Be Dancing and How Deep is Your Love?

Set in New York in 1976, 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 in life - 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 of Saturday Night Fever starring Oscar-nominee John Travolta inspired the definitive soundtrack by the Bee Gees and popularised disco around the world.

The role of Tony Manero is played by Danny Bayne, 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.

Naomi Slights plays the role of Stephanie.

Her credits include Mamma Mia! in the West End, 20th Century Boy, Thank You For The Music at Hyde Park, and she returns to the role of Stephanie after starring in Saturday Night Fever at Frankfurt’s English Theatre.

Co-producer Robert Stigwood is one of the world’s leading impresarios and entertainment entrepreneurs whose stage shows have included Hair, Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar and whose films have included Grease and the phenomenally successful film of Saturday Night Fever.

Andrew Wright won Best Choreographer at the WhatsOnStage Awards 2013 and was nominated for Best Choreographer at the 2012 Olivier Awards and Broadway World 2011 Awards for his choreography of Chichester Festival Theatre’s production of Singin’ in the Rain.

Saturday Night Fever appears at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday 3rd to Saturday 7th February. Tickets are on sale at the Box Office 01684 892277 and online at malvern-theatres.co.uk.
