Hot Stuff! Tony Nominee Manoel Felciano & More Set for Broadway's Disaster!

Look out! Tony nominee Manoel Felciano (Sweeney Todd) is just one of the names joining the previously announced Roger Bart, Kerry Butler, Adam Pascal and more in the Broadway incarnation of Disaster!. The musical comedy, based on cult favorite disaster movies from the 1970s, will begin performances on February 9 and officially open on March 8 at the Nederlander Theatre.

Rounding out the company will be Baylee Littrell, Paul Castree, Casey Garvin, Travis Kent, Alyse Alan Louis, Maggie McDowell, Olivia Phillip and Catherine Ricafort.

Directed and co-written by Jack Plotnick and also starring co-creator and co-writer Seth 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.

As previously reported Kevin Chamberlin, Faith Prince, Rachel York, Jennifer Simard, Max Crumm and Lacretta Nicole have also been tapped for the production's cast.
