The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities will open its 2015 - 2016 theatre season with the musical Saturday Night Fever directed by Rod A. Lansberry, tonight, September 15, 2015.

It is a thrill to see the musical Saturday Night Fever, based on the movie starring John Travolta, included on The Gateway Theatre's summer roster. The gorgeous Long Island venue has a habit of getting Broadway caliber casts and, to no surprise, this one did not disappoint. The Keith Andrews directed company was absolutely superb as they seamlessly performed the iconic score featuring, as we know, the music from the Bee Gees.

Broadway musical licensor TRW (Theatrical Rights Worldwide) announces the release of the new SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER the Musical. Written for the North American stage by Sean Cercone and David Abbinanti, this definitive new version of the musical features all of the original smash hit songs from The Bee Gees and others, with new music as well.
