It’s 1970s Miami, and bored record store clerk Harry is dreaming of bigger things. When he meets some like-minded musicians, the four friends band together to make their dreams of music stardom into a reality. Drawing on the remarkable true story of musician, producer and songwriter Harry Wayne Casey - better known as KC - Get Down Tonight follows pioneering disco foursome KC and the Sunshine Band from their very beginnings. With a healthy dose of nostalgia, plenty of “irresistible shimmy” (The Scotsman) and featuring some of KC and The Sunshine Band’s most beloved hits, this feel-good musical is perfect for disco divas and musical theatre fans.
Get Down Tonight first premiered under the title Who Do Ya Love? at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe, to critical acclaim, and had fringe-goers shaking their booties.
