Synopsis: Five years later and Tony Manero’s Saturday Night Fever is still burning. Now he’s strutting toward his biggest challenge yet—making it as a dancer on the Broadway stage. Screen legend John Travolta (Grease, Face/Off) is larger than life as he recreates his iconic character in this spectacularly visual musical that also sizzles with sensational performances by Cynthia Rhodes (Flashdance, Dirty Dancing) and Finola Hughes (Aspen Extreme) as the women in Tony’s life. Like its predecessor, Staying Alive pulsates with the groove-powered excitement of 5 new Bee Gees songs plus Frank Stallone’s high-intensity scoring which includes his hit, “Far from Over.” And watch closely to catch a Hitchcockian cameo appearance by producer-director-writer-superstar Sylvester Stallone (Rocky, Rambo)!
