Disaster! (musical)
''Disaster!'' is an Off-Broadway musical created and written by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick with choreography by Denis Jones and music supervision by Steve Marzullo. The show debuted at Triad Theatre, now renamed Stage 72, on January 22, 2012 and ran through March 25 in its first production. A second production ran from November 2013 through April of 2014 at New York’s St. Luke's Theatre.
''Disaster!'' parodies and pays comedic tribute to the genre of 1970s disaster films. In this musical, a group of New Yorkers attends the opening of a floating casino and discothèque that quickly succumbs to multiple disasters. These calamities correlate with plots of various disaster films of the 1970s such as earthquakes or killer bee incidents echoing situations from the films ''Earthquake'' and ''The Swarm'' respectively. Additionally, this play keeps with a 1970s theme by being a Jukebox musical, using popular songs of the decade as musical numbers.
==Inception and early development==
The origins of ''Disaster!'' go back to the early 1990s. While working together in 1992, Seth Rudetsky and Drew Garcia developed the concept of creating a musical reminiscent of the 70s disaster films they both appreciated. The original storyline involved the New York City blackout of 1977 and incorporated the decade’s top songs as both musical numbers and vehicles for comedy.〔
The concept was left largely untouched until Rudetsky was asked in 2011 to put on a show benefiting the nonprofit organization Only Make Believe. Rudetsky decided to return to his disaster musical idea for the benefit, and in the span of three months, he and Jack Plotnick revised the concept and wrote the first script of ''Disaster!''. Major changes included widening the plot’s range. Instead of focusing on one disaster, the NYC blackout, they decided to introduce a variety of catastrophes common to the popular films of the 1970s that they had grown up watching. The benefit show successfully impressed critics, and from its success, the musical later had a nine show Off-Off-Broadway run before being made into an Off-Broadway production.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Cast and Creatives of Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick's Disaster!
