Disaster! The Musical Presented by Madison County Theatre Co.

About this event

"Disaster!" is not your average trip down memory lane. Imagine strapping on your platform shoes, zipping up your bell-bottoms, and stepping aboard The Barracuda, only to find yourself in a disco inferno with a twist—literally. This jukebox musical comedy cranks the 1970s nostalgia to eleven and then throws in every conceivable disaster for good measure.

Jackie, a nightclub singer, is all dolled up and dreaming of a marriage proposal from Tony, the sleazy casino owner. Her twins, Ben and Lisa, are along for the ride, witnessing the madness that ensues. Enter Levora, the disco diva past her prime; Ted, who knows a disaster when he sees one because, well, he's a disaster expert; a nun with a gambling itch she just can't scratch; and Marianne, a reporter with a feminist flair and a mysterious past.

As the night unfolds, earthquakes shimmy through the crowd, man-eating piranhas do the backstroke in the buffet, and tidal waves crash the party—all set to the grooviest hits of the '70s. Amidst the chaos, love is lost and found, secrets are revealed, and survival instincts are put to the test. Will our eclectic group of disco-goers make it through the night, or will they succumb to the hilariously over-the-top perils at every turn?

"Disaster!" promises a night of uproarious laughter, heartwarming moments, and a killer soundtrack that will have you boogieing in your seat—if you're not doubled over in laughter first!
