Those who missed the days of Studio 54, didn't miss their Last Dance! This exciting new show is a tale from the 70s when enough was never enough. A joyful celebration of disco dreams, glitter balls and dangerous delights. It's a story about a time, not so long ago, when a man wrote songs for the woman he thought he'd never lose. "Disco Forever!" Hear the songs that made Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Donna Summer and The Weather Girls famous.
