People Take Warning! Tickets Now On Sale for Off-Broadway Musical Disaster!, Starring Mary Testa

Tickets are now on sale for Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick's Disaster! A 1970’s Disaster Movie…Musical. Directed by Plotnick, the new musical, which is based on disaster movies of the 1970s with a score consisting of pop, rock and disco songs from the era, will begin performances on October 14 at off-Broadway's St. Luke’s Theatre. Opening night is set for November 4.

Starring Tony nominee Mary Testa, Tom Riis Farrell, Michele Ragusa, Jennifer Simard and Rudetsky, Disaster! is set on a summer night in Manhattan in 1979 and follows a group of NYC A-listers who party at the grand opening of a floating casino/disco—until disaster strikes. Earthquakes, tidal waves, infernos, killer bees, rats, sharks, and piranhas all threaten the guests, who sing some of the biggest hits of the ‘70s including “Hot Stuff,” “I Am Woman,” “Knock on Wood” and more. Disaster! ran in 2012 at the Triad uptown.

The creative team for Disaster! includes choreography by Denis Jones, costume design by Brian Hemesath, set and lighting design by Josh Iacovelli and musical direction by Larry Pressgrove.
