DISCO FEVER REACHES IT’S ZENITH AS CAST AND CREW OF SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER THE MUSICAL ARRIVES IN MALAYSIA

 Start practicing your best 'do the hustle' moves because the talented cast and crew of the Asian production of Saturday Night Fever the Musical are coming to town. 

Milestone Production, together with Malaysia Major Events, is proud to finally bring these world-class performers to Kuala Lumpur—where they will be performing at Istana Budaya from September 4th to 13th .

Saturday Night Fever tells the story of Tony Manero, a young Italian- American man with a talent to dance. As immortalised forever by the performance of John Travolta in the 1977 film that inspired the musical, Tony has only one ambition: to become the disco king. When he meets Stephanie Mangano, who also dreams of a life beyond the city, they decide to train together for a dance competition and their lives are changed forever.

Before they take the stage in the opening show on September 4, the leading stars for this beloved musical gave a teaser on what to expect at a special media meet-and-greet event at Johnny Rockets Pavillion KL on September 1st

Principal performers Brandon Rubendall, Jenna Rubaii and Nick Varricchio who plays Tony, Stephanie and Double J respectively for this production, were in attendance at this event together with the show’s official organizer Milestone Production Managing Director,  Grace Lee.

Having been on many tours which include Wicked, Spiderman:Turn Off The Dark and Hairspray, Brandon has performed alongside Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce. His co-star Jenna has been on tours for great musicals such as Grease, Pride and Prejudice and 54 Forever. 

These two seasoned stage performers is slated to give a sneak-peek performance at the meet-and-greet session as a treat. And not to forget, the dashing Nick Varricchio who plays Double J in the musical. Nick was born and raised in Cleveland and has performed in Broadway and have been on many musical tours which include ‘A Chorus Line’ , ‘Spring Awakening’ , ‘Cabaret’ , ‘Chicago’ , ‘Into The Woods’ ; ‘Cinderella’ and many more. 

Be ready to sing along and do the hustle to the tunes of the Bee Gees as their arrival here in KL marks the beginning of a renaissance of disco fever in Kuala Lumpur.

Under the watchful eye of award-winning  Filipina director Bobby Garcia, this Asian Tour 2015 production will be imbued with a slight contemporary edge while retaining the film’s grittiness and realistic portrayal of the disco era and the entertainment value of its music and dance moves.

Saturday Night Fever The Musical Asian Tour 2015, brought to Malaysia by Milestone Production, will play at Istana Budaya from Sept 4 to 13. Tickets are priced at RM568 (VVIP), RM398 (VIP), RM338 (CAT A), RM268 (CAT B), RM138 (CAT C) - (Ticket prices are inclusive of 6% GST but not inclusive of RM4 ticketing fee).
