The Riverside Center for the Performing Arts in Fredericksburg, Virginia is excited to present the disco musical, Saturday Night Fever starring Michael Notardonato as Tony Manero. Located at 95 Riverside Parkway, in Fredericksburg, VA, performances began on Wednesday March 15th and plays through Sunday May 7th.
Put on your bell-bottoms and dancing shoes and take a trip back in time with this brand new version of the show based on the 1977 hit film starring John Travolta. Saturday Night Fever follows Tony Manero in his attempt to escape his troubles by spending weekends at the local disco. Watch Tony win the admiration of the crowd and his girl, Stephanie Mangano, as he burns up the dance floor with his electric moves. The production features the disco music that made the Bee Gees famous.
