FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Disaster!
‘Disaster!’ pokes fun at ‘The Poseidon Adventure,’ ‘Airport 1975’
7 / 10
'Disaster!,' the scrappy, witty, ultra-campy new musical that parodies 1970s disaster flicks like 'The Poseidon Adventure' and 'Airport 1975' to a soundtrack of disco-era pop hits, may have been better off staying off-Broadway instead of making the unanticipated and improbable move to Broadway, where it looks and feels out of place and its flaws become more apparent...'Disaster!' takes ridiculousness to an extreme that, at its best, can be hilarious. Visual gags are plentiful and each hit song is integrated with the dialogue in an unusually artful manner...Even so, the show's relentless, one-note silliness grows tiresome, resembling a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch that goes on way too long.
Review: All Aboard the Cheerfully Campy Musical 'Disaster!'
8 / 10
Welcome aboard the Barracuda, a floating casino and discotheque of dubious construction. It's 1979 and we're anchored to a pier in New York City's Hudson River, but about to set sail on a side-splittingly funny evening of singing, dancing and near-death experiences. Directed by Jack Plotnick with a book by Plotnick and Seth Rudetsky, the musical 'Disaster!' is a campy carnival of cliches and gleefully cheesy comedy...Tony Award-winner Roger Bart is confidently smarmy as Tony DelVecchio, the corner-cutting casino owner. Co-writer Rudetsky is nerdy perfection as Professor Ted Scheider, the disaster-predicting expert whom Tony will, of course, ignore until the Barracuda is upside down and floating out to sea.
