It is 1979, and New York’s hottest new attraction is The Barracuda, a glamorous floating casino and discotheque packed with colorful characters, questionable decisions, and some of the biggest songs of the decade. Unfortunately, disaster expert Ted Scheider has discovered that the casino has been built directly over a dangerous fault line. What follows is an increasingly ridiculous parade of earthquakes, tidal waves, fires, collapsing structures, and other catastrophes as the passengers and crew try to survive the night. Disaster! is an over the top musical comedy inspired by the disaster movies of the 1970s and powered by recognizable songs including “Hot Stuff,” “I Am Woman,” “Knock on Wood,” “I Will Survive,” and more. The comedy works best when the characters take their increasingly absurd circumstances completely seriously. The show’s musical score confirms its extensive use of recognizable 1970s songs throughout both acts.
