A brand new production of Saturday Night Fever is being staged by Theatre Royal Bath Productions in association with the Robert Stigwood Organisation this autumn. Playing at the venue from 12–22 November, the musical – featuring a large cast of actor/musicians – then embarks on a nationwide UK tour.
Ryan McBryde directs. His production of Hamlet! The Musical at the Royal & Derngate, Northampton and Richmond Theatre, won the WhatsOnStage Theatregoers’ Choice Award. McBryde is also associate director for Perfect Pitch Musicals, the organisation that nurtures new writing.
The production is choreographed by Andrew Wright, who won Best Choreographer at the WhatsOnStage Awards 2013 and was nominated for Best Choreographer at the 2012 Olivier Awards for Chichester Festival Theatre’s production of Singin’ in the Rain. He has also choreographed the new touring productions of Betty Blue Eyes, Barnum and Happy Days (he is director of the latter).
Co-producer Robert Stigwood is one of the world’s leading impresarios and entertainment entrepreneurs, whose stage shows have included Hair, Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar, and whose successful films have included Grease and Saturday Night Fever.
In 2011, Theatre Royal Bath Productions (TRBP) presented the Tony Award-winning musical comedy Avenue Q on its first UK tour, in collaboration with Cameron Mackintosh. After opening in Bath in February 2011, the tour played venues nationwide.
