Bill Kenwright, by special arrangement with the Robert Stigwood organisation is presenting a new production of the hit musical SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. Based on the Paramount/RSO Film and the story by Nick Cohn. Adapted for the stage by Robert Stigwood in collaboration with Bill Oakes.

The UK tour kicks off this summer opening at the Wimbledon Theatre in August. This new production will have new choreography and more music, with casting to be announced.

It is over 40 years since the classic 1977 film starring John Travolta was released in cinemas, and 20 years since the show's original London production.

The date is 1976 in New York and Tony Manero (a young man from a tough Brooklyn neighbourhood with a dead-end job and an extraordinary ability to dance) has only one ambition in life - to become the disco king. Every Saturday night he puts on his flares and hits the dance floor, wowing everyone with his phenomenal moves and routines. When he meets Stephanie, who also dreams of a world beyond Brooklyn, they decide to train together for a dance competition and their lives begin to change forever as Tony Manero as  recklessly dances his way to success and features classic Bee Gees numbers  including Stayin’ Alive, How Deep Is Your Love, Night Fever, Tragedy and More Than a Woman as well as 70’s favorites Boogie Shoes, Disco Inferno and many more.

The musical originally opened in the UK at the London Palladium in 1998 with Adam Garcia in the lead where it was nominated for three Tony Awards, before running on Broadway in 2000. Most recently the show last toured in 2014.

Richard Winsor is to make his musical theatre debut playing Tony Manero. He is best known as principal dancer from Matthew Bourne's New Adventures productions of Car Man, Edward Scissorhands, Swan Lake and Dorian Grey as well as Caleb Knight in BBC's Casualty. He will be joined by Kate Parr (Follies) as Stephanie, Owen Broughton (Gus), Michael Cortez (Joey), Raphael Pace (Bobbie C) and Jared Thompson (Double Jay).

The cast is completed by: Philip Aiden (Frank Senior); Anna Campkin (Annette); Faizal Jaye (DJ Monty); Melody Jones (Flo Manero); Marios Nicolaides (Frank Junior) with ensemble members Rhianne Alleyne, Javier Cid, Jess Ellen, Andrew Gordon Watkins, Olivia Kate Holding, Carly Miles, Aimee Moore, Nathan Ryles and Brett Shiels.

For the first time they are joined by the "Bee Gees" with Ed Handoll (Barry Gibb), Alastair Hill (Maurice Gibb) and Matt Faull (Robin Gibb) singing the hit soundtrack of the disco classics.
