Producers Robert Greenblatt and Neil Meron announced that they are developing Studio 54 The Musical, a new work with a book by Chad Hodge and music by the greatest disco artists of all-time. Directed and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Sergio Trujillo, the Broadway-bound musical traces the astonishing ascent and sudden downfall of the most legendary club in nightlife history.

In staggeringly short order, two scrappy impresarios turned an abandoned west side theater into the hottest club in the history of New York– utterly transforming music, nightlife, and celebrity culture in the process. It also transformed the lives of everyone who made it past the door, whether for one extraordinary night or every night. Until it all abruptly came to an end.

Studio 54 The Musical will bring audiences past the velvet rope and into a world of unfathomable decadence, set to the thumping sound of the most iconic disco hits of the 1970s and populated by a cast of unforgettable characters, all having the time of their lives. Welcome to Studio 54.
