Disaster! the Musical

September 18, 2026 · Ridgefield, CT

It’s 1979, and New York’s hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. Also attending is a faded disco star, a nightclub singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys who are looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman, and a nun with a gambling addiction. What begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love that they’ve lost…or at least escape the killer rats. With larger-than-life characters, snappy dialogue and some of the most recognizable songs of the ’70s, Disaster! is a laugh-out-loud jukebox musical packed with big personalities, outrageous situations, and disco flair! by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick Concept created by Seth Rudetsky & Drew Geraci Additional material by Drew Geraci Directed by Dani Roth-Hanley Music Directed by Emily Lungarini Stage Managed by Rob Kruzykowski Production Managed by Stefanie Rosenberg with Set & Costume Design by Claudia Noel Nerreau Lighting Design by Mark Hankla Sound Design by Matthew McGregor
