In 1977, the soundtrack to the film of this show became the highest-selling in history, sending the Brothers Gibb stellar.

This production, staged by impresario Robert Stigwood, who nurtured the Bee Gees in their heyday, boldly makes its own mark, sufficiently distancing itself from the iconic film version.

A young, exuberant cast is ably led by Sean Mulligan as Tony Manero, complemented by a poised, self-assured Jayde Westaby as Stephanie.

The strength of the show lies in the dance sequences, imaginatively choreographed by perfectionist Arlene Phillips, a dance veteran who transforms talented dancers into acrobats.

Phillips is undoubtedly the driving force behind this project, for without her innovation and insight this would be a rather hollow piece, devoid of focus.

But, for sheer athleticism alone, it's worth a visit.
