Rehearsals for the musical comedy spoof DISASTER! are underway in London and we are pleased to bring you this great set of images from Jamie Scott Smith.
DISASTER! the 2016 Broadway musical that spoofs star-studded1970s jeopardy movies like The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake and Airport, will premiere at Charing Cross Theatre for two glittering gala concert charity performances to raise funds for The Make a Difference Trust on Sunday 20 November.
It’s 1979 and New York’s hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. But what begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love they’ve lost...or at least escape the killer rats! Set in the wildest decade ever, DISASTER! is packed with unforgettable 70s dance floor hits including “I Will Survive”, “Knock On Wood,” “Hooked On A Feeling,” “Sky High,” “I Am Woman” and “Hot Stuff”.
The cast includes Jennifer Simard, Seth Rudetsky, Simon Lipkin, Oliver Tompsett, Sally Ann Triplett, Jodie Jacobs, Alice Fearn, Sandra Marvin, Bradley Riches, Mark Anderson, Paul Grunbert, Ruthie Stephens, Chris Warner, Rachel Grundy, Hayley Jones, Sam Lathwood, Will Luckett, Anthony Starr
and Katie Warsop.
This gala concert performance will take place on Sunday 20 November at 4pm and 7.30pm at Charing Cross Theatre.
