The Bee Gees' Smash Hit Musical: When John Travolta walked on to the dance floor in the smash hit film Saturday Night Fever it changed the way we danced forever.

Set in New York, Saturday Night Fever tells the story of an ambitious, talented and streetwise Brooklyn kid with the burning desire to make it big. Packed with disco hits from the biggest selling soundtrack in film history Saturday Night Fever includes the classics Stayin Alive, Night Fever, Jive Talking, You Should Be Dancing and How Deep is Your Love.

"Here I am. Prayin' for this moment to last. Livin' on the music so fine. Borne on the wind. Makin' it mine. Night fever, night fever. We know how to do it. Gimme that night fever, night fever. We know how to show it." (Night Fever from Saturday Night Fever, lyrics by Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Maurice Gibb - The Bee Gees)

Combining a cast of some of Britain's most talented young singers and dancers, a live orchestra and sensational choreography, Saturday Night Fever is the dance musical event of the year, the perfect disco dazzler.

"Saturday Night Fever addicts won't be disappointed... style, sensuality and terrific fizz to the dancing" The Times

"Saturday Night Fever, the seventies-set disco musical, is back in London, the same show as the one seen six years ago at the Palladium, but fitting more snugly into the Victoria Apollo... The dancing, by an impeccably drilled team does the business, and the climatic competition is particularly good, with the Puerto Rican pair swivelling and slithering all over one another. Nostalgics like me will be in polyester paradise; normal people might just find it irresistable too." The Mail on Sunday

"Sheer joy... the audience where up on their feet and boogeying ecstatically during the prolonged encores" The Daily Telegraph

"Arlene Phillip's production had its moments: a deft You Should Be Dancin', some genuinely fancy footwork during the disco showdown. But there was no momentum and even less feeling. By the time the curtain finally fell, Saturday Night Fever, felt more like slight nausea and a bit of a headache." The Sunday Telegraph

"An addictive spectacle... slick and spectacular" The Guardian

"Like a dog-eared copy of Playboy, the 1970s are back... This revival of the 1998 stage version of the 1977 film underlines the extreme male narcissism of those disco-dancing times, with choreographic invention largely confined to the area between hip and thigh... But hey, this is the Bee Gees not Beethoven, and a 30-strong cast give it all they've got." The Sunday Times
