"Saturday Night Fever" heads to Liverpool
Photographs Jo Forrest, report and video by Patrick Trollope.

THE Liverpool Empire, on Lime Street, is 1 of the most famous theatres in the City and one of the most prestigious venues in the North West of England. Therefore it is fitting that it will play host to one of the most famous modern dance shows:- "Saturday  Night Fever" This touring show will only be at the Empire for 5 nights, running from 2 December to 6 December 2014 and it is a must see for all Disco fans. It is a new production, based on the hit film, that starred John Travolta, and is set to bring the 1970's to the nation. If you like the music "You Should Be Dancing" in your seat at this iconic musical, should you attend... With hits like the 1976 song, by The Trammps, "Disco Inferno" and "Stayin' Alive", by the Bee Gees, this show's cast will be boogying away, hard and fast to the grove, with fantastic dance routines that have been choreographed by award winning Andrew Wright. If you do not know what the story is, well it has strong plot full of "Emotion", set in 1970's Brooklyn, "in the USA." It tells the story of Tony Manero, a teenager who is stuck in a dead end job, with only one ambition, that is to become the King of the disco floor. As the story unfolds, Tony meets Stephanie, who dreams of moving to "the big City" and they pair up for what will be a life changing dance competition. Will they win? Well you will just have to go to find out... After seeing this disco theatre delight, you will go away wanting to put on your "Boogie Shoes" again. Following on from the first two successful stops of the tour starting at home in the Theatre Royal Bath, then in Manchester Opera House, we caught up with some of the cast on 28 November 2014. After a quick photo shoot, we had the pleasure of interviewing the cast for you, to find out more about the show. To hear and see the interview, please see player below...
