Saturday Night Fever

Saturday Night Fever opened last Friday night to a very enthusiastic audience. Based on the 1977 film starring John Travolta, Spotlight’s production had all the pizzazz of the era.

In the role made famous by JT, Jackson Brash gave a fantastic performance and danced brilliantly, receiving a standing ovation. The supporting principals: Hannah Rigby, Ruby Hunter, Jack Harbour, Johnathon Fife and Marcus Du Toit, all turned in creditable characterizations, complete with New York accents.

The set, designed by the director, captured the Brooklyn neighbourhood where these working-class Italian-American families called home, worked very effectively and slick scene changes enhanced the flow of the show.

With exceptional dancing, Clay and his assistant Laura Carrett along with Musical Director, Julie Whiting have created an energetic production, much to everyone’s delight.

Minor glitches with the audio were soon forgotten as the story progressed.

A great night’s entertainment!
