Saturday Night Fever

We LOVED the show! Great music! (Foot tapping the whole time!) Cast was GREAT!Really a fun & enjoyable time. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our Birthdays! Would highly recommend!!

Lots of energy, great story. Dancing was outstanding, several humorous moments as well.

Didnt expect too much fromthe road crew traveling to Springfield Ma,, but this was more like a highschool play. A man behind us fell asleep, while I felt uncomfortable for the cast, who did try, and I will not bash they for trying their best. This was just too big for them. We left during intermission, trying to salvage some of the night I took off from work. Wish I could get my money back.

It was good, but seemed slow and melancholy. I have been to several play and some at the TN Theater and I am always impressed there. It was ok, just didn't grab me for some reason. The actors all did a fabulous job.

Great show! My husband loves this movie, so, I got him tickets to see this play for his birthday. We both enjoyed very much. They played up a few characters storylines which only added to the show. The music was sang with so much heartfelt moments! Play follows the movie pretty close. Have nothing bad to say really- great production. Fun show that makes you want to dance in your seat.

Normally, I love going to events at TN Theatre. SNF however was a disappointment. No way was the show worth the money. I'm a big fan of Broadway musicals and had great hopes of a similar experience to NY or even Chicago. I'll definitely be back to TN theatre, but not for Broadway shows. Think I'll stick to concerts. They have never been a disappointment.

Lead actor could not dance or sing. We wondered if it was the stand in. Others were ok, but really was an overall let down

The dancing was good as were the female voices. The singing talent of the men was poor at best. The back drops were not very impressive. I would not recommend this play.

The singing voices were weak and off key. The music was slow. The dancing was very mediocre. The dialog was mumbled. $77 for this led to a disappointing evening. The worst performance I have ever attended in the Broadway series.

The dancing was good, however the vocals lacked the energy the play needed. Should of had the original BeeGees Soundtrack playing in background

We were excited to go and see this show. Unfortunately, it was not all that we could have asked for. For one thing, the stage had an odd set up that limited the scope of what the audience could see. Our seats were left of center and we could not see what was happening on our side of the stage because the curtain was in the way. There was also some issue with being able to hear what was said. The performers were high energy for the most part and several of the vocalists were very good. I kept waiting for the big, goose-bump moment in the show that should have been there, but it just didn't come. While a solid performance, this show was not exceptional.

The show dragged on in parts and was a little slow. The great singing and music in the dance scenes helps to carry the show.

The performance lacked originality and although the effort was there the performance was a B rated performance. My wife and I were expecting a much better show.

the music was enjoyable but that was it. not much "theater" surrounding this production.

This show is not good. The acting and singing was not professional. The actors did not interact well together and many lines you could not hear.

Brought back great memories!!!! Excellent case and dancing is beyond words.

The musical was well thought out and the delivery was really good. However, the lead actor that portrayed Tony Manero was really bad. His dancing and singing were not very good and his voice was a distraction throughout. It was as if Kramer from Seinfeld was doing his best (or worst) impersonation of Al Pacino. The other actors were excellent singers and dancers. With a better Tony Manero, I would have rated the show much higher.

The show started later than the advertised time. The microphone on one of the actors failed to work in 2 scenes. The ladies out sung the guys 2 to 1. Average performance!

The show was a lot of fun and very entertaining. The performers were really great dancers and singers. Show stayed true to original movie. The music was so awesome and brought back lots of great childhood memories.

It was very disappointing. I am a real fan of the BeeGee and their sound! I was not aware that it was the BeeGee's music, but not their sound. With that in mind, I was really disappointed in the show and walked out of it during the first act. This point together with the high volume of the sound in the front row made the show basically unwatchable!

We enjoyed the show on Saturday night. The cast did a great job with the music and storyline. FYI: Drinks at Mystic are way overpriced.

Enjoyed the show and evening. Actors and Dancers were excelent.

This was the worst production I've ever seen. Who knew that fun, upbeat SNF music could be so tragically slowed down and horribly sung? The role of Danny could have gone to anyone else -- and should because from the first note he was off-key and the acting pathetic. His annoying head bobble and stupid grid was an insult to Travolta. It was so bad that over half the audience left at intermission.

This was my first experience with Saturday Night Fever Musical. I really enjoyed the show. I was surprised to learn how long this musical had been around (since 1998) and surprised that I had not seen it before, especially since I enjoy musicals and like to attend ones I've never seen before.

I thought the show was great .The talent was top notch and would see again in a heartbeat

Actors were very good. Singing and dancing good. The big disappointment was the orchestra/band. Music just didn't do the original score justice. Too bad because otherwise it would have been very enjoyable.

We left before intermission. This was not Broadway material

Saturday Night Fever was very good. It followed the movie truly. If you loved the movie you must see. The PERFORMANCE by the cast was great!

Very low energy. Poor sound quality. Expected better dancing.

I am a regular theatre goer who knows a good performance when I see one. And believe me, this one fell far short. Acting; generally mediocre. Choreography; pedestrian at best. Characterization? This is where it all starts and ends, and sometimes I actually wondered if there had been any at all. Those very few in the cast who actually caught the jist of this piece, held on to it and worked to communicate it to the audience probably did it on their own I was thinking, while they were surrounded by a fuzzy ball of yarn slowly unraveling onto the stage. And if the cast felt the audience wasn't "with it" they need only blame themselves. There was very little to grab on to here, try as we did throughout. All that was lacking may very well have been saved by at least some genuine enthusiasm from the players. But alas! it was only evident in the curtain call and encore. Please don't call it Broadway when it is Mudville !

Not what I expected. Could have been much better if they had not used the words Jesus Christ throughout the show.. Talent was subpar..

After looking forward to this show, we were terribly disappointed in the Saturday afternoon performance of Saturday Night Fever. The sound system wasn't clear; consequently we were unable to understand much of what was said (we do speak English). Singing voices were weak or mediocre. The only positive thing was seeing the lovely Tennessee Theater inside. After this experience, though, I doubt we'll attend another performance.

Disappointed overall for the amount of money we spent we were expecting a higher level of performance. This would have been good if it were done at Dollywood. Acoustics were terrible. Could not understand most of the dialog. Only one strong singer and she was a secondary player. My first experience at TN TH. I will give it one more shot but if this is the quality we get next time it will be our last. Dancing was good.

While the outing to the beautiful Tennessee Theater with friends was fun, the show was very average at best. The price was too high for a very mediocre performance. The script and musical arrangements were choppy and uninspired. The dancing was good, not great. The dialogue was difficult to understand. The entire show seemed to lack the energy one would expect from a Broadway touring company.

THIS WAS THE SECOND MUSICAL I HAVE SEEN AND BOTH OF THEM WERE AMAZING!!!!

I was expecting it to be better! I would not recommend for the price.

We were so disappointed in this show. I had planned dinner out and a show for a Valentine date night. Most amazing thing about the show was the theatre itself. Having grown up in Knoxville and gone to the theater as a young boy in the 60's and 70's it's always nostalgic when I go back. We were so excited about seeing the same energy that was in the movie and to relive the disco days of our childhood! There was a mom and her daughter sitting behind us that we were talking to before the show began and she was already dancing in her seat showing the daughter a video from the movie on her phone. They left at intermission and didn't return. The show was lackluster, boring and hard to follow. The sound was low, muffled and difficult to understand what the characters were saying. The dancing, well, was not up to par with the disco days. The orchestra, if you call a guy on a keyboard an orchestra, was also disappointing. We felt like we were at a high school production of Saturday Night Fever. To have paid $167 for two tickets we expected more, and have always had more with shows that come to this theatre. Parts of the show were so far to the right side of the stage that we were unable to see the full production from our seats. We were witting on the far right side balcony. The executive director of the Tennessee Theatre introduced the show and exclaimed that everyone will be dancing in the isles by the time the show is over! The only dancing in the isles occurred when it was over and everyone was dancing to the exits! I would not recommend wasting your money on this show.

The play was not appropriate for children.The sexual moves in the dancing and the language of some of the actors.

Music could have been better. Speaking parts and music not loud enough.

The effort was there, and considering -- which we don't want to do at $65-plus a ticket on a cold and rainy night -- these were challenging songs of the Bee Gees, the Saturday night show at the Tennessee Theatre was just average. Was it the sound system or the New Jersey way of speaking; was it the often bare or stark set; was it the level of talent of some of the key players... We've seen some great shows here -- Mama Mia, Guys and Dolls. Alas, this was not one. A 6 on 10 scale.

Poor choreography, poor lighting, poor sound quality, poor acting ... just a very poor performance all around

Lackluster at best. Disappointing and not worth the price.

Sound system could have been better as it was easy to miss parts of conversations. Whole production wasn't has upbeat as I expected. Didn't make me want to dance even though disco is my favorite. Something that could have helped-have disco soundtrack playing before and during intermission.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoy the Broadway on Tour productions. This was the weakest production we have seen to date over a 5 year span. I was very excited about the production as I was a child of the 70's and was very disappointed. The singing was average at best and the dancing was weak. This production was no better than a high school production and we paid $70+ dollars a ticket. While making a run to the bar during intermission, I noticed the hordes of people leaving the theater for the evening. We are still enthused about Broadway on Tour but this was definitely a forgettable and lackluster experience.

Mediocre at best. Lackluster. Lead performer's voice not good.

We were very disappointed in the performance of Saturday Night Fever in Springfield. As frequent theatre goers - we have seen many different and varied performances. The lead sang in what may have been an attempt at a NY accent - but it wasn't successful in his speaking and even worse in his singing. With the sound being too loud through the speakers, at times he sounded like a fog horn and we couldn't even make out what he was saying. Some of the scene changes were done with all the stage lights on and we could see the stage hands. The singing range of some of the performers were outside of the Bee Gee's original sounds which detracted and distracted from the performance.

This was a smart, funny, talented cast and production which was very true to the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever. It was wonderful to see those great old days recreated and to hear the film's soundtrack sun and danced to within the context of the musical - great to hear Ivonne Hooligan, Tavares and BeeGees on stage in dramatic/musical numbers. Very cool! Great cast - they were young and very capable of delivery mood of times, young people and gist of film. Main female character Stephanie spoke just like her film twin (what a hoot)! Kudos to producer, director and choregrapher! Kudos to hall's director for bringing great shows to town - The Tavares, The Temptations, Saturday Night Fever and earlier Songs of Broadway Musicals. You're great! Bravo!

I thought this was a fantastic show..Everyone did a terrific job.The only thing I could critique is once in a while I could not hear tony talk.It was a little soft and not clear...I heard everyone else great though and we were right up front so I'm not sure how they could hear him in the back..Overall it was a terrific show!!!

Show not good. Finally dance was good but songs and music during show was a big disappointment.

This was a great show at Springfield Symphony Hall. The only negative thing was that the dialogue was hard to hear. Singing was crystal clear and WOW, the choreography and dances were fantastic.

Unfortunately this was the worst musical I have ever seen. The lead was, in my opinion, poorly cast. He was a mediocre singer and did not appear to be a professional dancer. This was true of many of the singers, with the exception of two female actresses. We left at intermission.

This show was a very cheesy production, with no entertaining qualities. Singing, dancing, staging, sound, clothing all left a lot to be desired. Left at intermission, as did quite a few others. After reading the reviews here, it seems many who saw this production have had the same disappointment, especially in the lead, Tony. Why they have not replaced him with all the months of negativity is hard to understand. Don't waste your time and money on this one!!!!

We attempted to enjoy Saturday Night Fever, The Musical last night at Porland's Merrill Auditorium, and left at the intermission because it was so awful. The cast was boring. The lead character was badly cast and couldn't sing. There was little dancing. The sets were boring. In short, this awful performance could have been outdone by any well-meaning high school theater company. Save your money and rent the movie instead.

This was a poor production. The lead character was the main problem. His dancing and singing skills were mediocre and many of the supporting cast members were far better. The big problem surrounded the actual venue. People talking non stop throughout the entire show and ushers who would not do anything about it. We left at intermission. A complete waste of $150.

Outstanding live show. Loved the music, the similarity to the famous movie. The actors were excellent. I will likely see it again sometime. A great evening of live theater.

We were terribly disappointed in the performance. The lead playing Tony was trying too hard and you couldn't understand him and his voice was not strong enough for the part, Several people left at the intermission time because the vocals were so poor. This is the very first time I have given a bad review for a musical.

Adolescent Performance - reminiscent of a High School Musical Choreography and Musical Arrangements too far removed from Original Score. Tony - too much negative Italian Stereotyping .... Tony - worked hard on stage, but something was just not right.... ..... Sorry to say, had to walk out during intermission

The lead man, his natural or put on accent was a bit much, there were lines we couldn't understand. Some of the dancing seemed slow, but all in all it was a good show. The music was the BEST.

Good show but tempo of music was slower and effected outcomes. First half was not performed well--missing cues and amateur like. Second half the performance woke up ! Lead female singing was outstanding!! Male lead was great dancer but singing fell short

The entire cast was talented, entertaining and the music was great.

With in minutes of the first act my opinion was that this is a new or somewhat inexperienced group. Felt to me like they were screaming when being vocal and it lacked emotional depth. Mostly I liked the music.

The lead male was difficult to understand-he either talked to fast or his words just weren't clear. I compare it to the movie and it just didn't have the piazza. We enjoyed the show it just wasn't awesome like many shows have been in the past. We did buy the package for 3 additional shows and hope they will be better.

Probably the worst play we have ever seen. If your leading guy is going to sing he needs to be able to sing.

Was happy to see the improvements to the venue - but was not all that excited about the actual show - some good voices - as an adaptation of the movie it was okay -

This will be short... it was TERRIBLE. Don't waste your money

This production of Saturday Night Fever is just not worth the cost of admission. The male lead is about 35 playing the part of a 19 year old, his swinging is awful, but I do have to say he's a fine dancer, but that's all I can say. The females in the show good but not great. Some of the singing was more "shouting" than "singing" - this may have been due to the mics and/or the sound level, but in either case, it left a lot to be desired. All in all, it was a "wasted evening"......

This was by far the worst play we have ever seen. I have seen great performances at this venue, Duke Energy Center.... this one was just terrible short of horrible. We just couldn't sit there any longer, felt embarrassed for the cast. I just have no words to how terrible this truly was.

The lead (Tony) was TERRIBLE. First of all, he looked like he was 40 playing a part of a teenager, then he couldn't sing, AND he couldn't dance.. it was a train-wreck! This was my first time attending a musical at the Duke Energy Center and honestly, I might never go back.

Until this season we had been season subscribers to NC Theatre for about 12-15 years. This performance was the worst we had ever seen in this series. The lead male simply could not sing and his dancing was athletic but mechanical. Overall the production was lifeless.

This had to be the worst performance I have even seen. It was terrible. You could of done so much better for the lead role of Tony. His voice was terrible. There was no excitement in the group. If I didn't have my mother with me I would of left at intermission it was that bad.

The dialogue was hard to understand. The vocals were not as strong as I expected.

One of the worst musicals we have ever seen. Only one of the cast members had a good voice. The music sounded flat as well; like a cheap recording

It was a nice nostalgic trip back into the 70s of my childhood. The songs made me smile and brought back memories. However, the play itself was hard to follow. The sound was bad enough that dialog was often lost on me. Microphones popped, actors were completely unhearable, etc. Still, it was enjoyable and I would recommend it. Just be prepared for poor sound!

The casting of Tony was very disappointing. Expecting a smooth BeeGees sounding voice, I was shocked to hear a gravelly Springsteen voice without the tone. Also the actor was too old to be playing a 19 year old. I was waiting for a dynamite dancer, thinking maybe that is why he was cast in the part, but was equally disappointed. Without a strong Tony character, the musical fell flat.
