SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER Asian Tour Releases Promotional Photos

We're counting down the days to the new Asian Tour of the hit London's West End and Broadway musical SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER (SNF), which kicks off in Manila in July, followed by performances in Kuala Lumpur in September and in Singapore, September and October.

To bring back the disco fever burning onstage, theatrical producers Atlantis Theatrical Entertainment Group (ATEG), Ten Bridges Media Corp., and London's Robert Stigwood Organisation have just released some promotional photos featuring the show's stars Brandon Rubendall (Broadway's "Spider-man: Turn Off The Dark," "Broadway Bares: Rock Hard") and Jenna Rubaii ("American Idiot," "Fifty Four Forever") as the steamy, romantic dancing couple Anthony "Tony" Manero and Stephanie Mangano.

Directed by Bobby Garcia ("Shrek The Musical," "Ghost The Musical"), this new production of SNF, features a revised script highlighting the tough uncompromising realities of the original 1977 film of the same name, which starred then up-and-coming Hollywood actor John Travolta as Manero and Karen Lynn Gorney as Mangano.

Also featuring some of the most iconic songs of The Bee Gees, SNF tells the story of an uneducated, immature teenager from Brooklyn who escapes his otherwise dreary life by dancing his way to the top at a local discotheque.

Tony Award-winning scenic designer David Gallo ("Memphis," "The Drowsy Chaperone"), Broadway choreographer Vince Pesce ("Anything Goes," "The Pajama Game"), original lighting designer of SNF on Broadway Paul Miller ("Legally Blonde," "Hairspray"), costume designer Eric Pineda ("Disney's "The Little Mermaid," "Tarzan"), musical director Ceejay Javier ("Shrek The Musical," "Addams Family."), and London's West End and Broadway casting director Tara Rubin ("Les Miserables," "Miss Saigon") form its first-rate creative team.
