Come hell or high water, Disaster! is Broadway's new musical comedy . Earthquakes, tidal waves, infernos and rampant wildlife can't stop an OUTRAGEOUS cast of characters from dancing, gambling and singing the night away aboard New York's first floating casino and discothèque. Disaster! features some of the most memorable pop, rock and disco hits of the 1970s, including "Hot Stuff," "I Am Woman," "Knock On Wood," "Daybreak" and more.
