Set in the twilight of the disco period, Disaster! The Musical is a new jukebox musical comedy from Broadway. The production is the brainchild of Emmy nominee and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudesky and actor and television writer Jack Plotnick. It takes place in a casino and discotheque aboard a ship in 1979, and it pays homage to the disaster films of the 1970s. Earthquakes, infernos and tidal waves shake up the A-list passengers as they sing ‘70s hits like “I Will Survive” and “Hooked on a Feeling.” The show has been described by The New York Times as a “self-consciously silly spoof” of classic films like Earthquake and The Towering Inferno. The show will be performed Feb. 9–10 and Feb. 15–17 at 8 p.m., with afternoon matinees held Feb. 11 and Feb. 18 at 2 p.m.
