Break out your bell-bottoms and platform shoes, because it's time to boogie down memory lane. The Spectacular Follies is bringing the disco fever back to Brownlee Auditorium at the Granville Arts Center with their production, "Stayin' Alive! Our 70s Flashback". Think less Saturday Night Fever and more of an affectionate nod to the groovier times of the 1970s, when the music was loud, proud, and had enough soul to make your platform shoes tap on their own, according to the City of Garland.
Slated to hit the stage from April 25 to 28 with afternoon delights from 2:00 PM to 4:45 PM, and an evening session on April 27 from 7:00 PM to 9:45 PM, this blast from the past isn't shy about its intentions. Tickets – which are selling for $35 to $40 a pop, probably won't last longer than your average disco ball (in the era of instant sell-outs, at least). With the auditorium located at 300 N 5th Street in Garland, TX, locals won't have far to hustle.
The show promises to deliver the "music, dancing and comedy of the 1970s" in a full sensory overload. It's guaranteed to be an immersive experience; the cast is set to recreate the smorgasbord of sounds from disco to rock that defined the eclectic entertainment era.
The Spectacular Follies ensemble is prepped to strut their stuff with your favorite hit songs, hijacking the time machine to one of the most colorful, and transformative periods in music history. Guests should brace themselves for a high-energy trip filled with familiar tunes and wild costumes that will have everyone, from baby boomers to Generation Z, busting out their best dance moves. It's a fun history lesson with a beat — whether you lived through it or you've only experienced it through the eyes of YouTube, and cultural osmosis.
