Disco Inferno (musical)

Disco Inferno is a modern 1970s style musical written by Jai Sepple. Set in 1976, the show features memorable songs of the 1970s era, including Boogie Nights, Celebration and Hot Stuff. The musical is loosely based on the story of Faust.

The original cast in the début production at The Kenneth More Theatre, Ilford, starred Jai Sepple as Jack, Caroline Koutsoudes, Dan Peek and Robyn Gowers. The supporting cast included Steve Taylor, Harri Sepple (née Shelton) and Mark Brock as well as other musicians, dancers and singers.

The 2012 revised script has seen changes to characters including:

Working late in a London nightclub, Disco Inferno, Jack meets Lady Marmalade - a femme fatale and associate of the Devil. Dreaming of becoming successful, he makes a pact with her, trading his soul to fulfill his wildest fantasies.

Jack soon becomes an international success, making appearances on radio and television shows, but he finds his success hollow. Jack now has the fame and fortune he's always dreamed of but loses his devoted girlfriend, Jane. As his situation worsens, Jack wishes only to get his life back to the way it used to be.

Disco Inferno has been performed around the world since it was written, including in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan and Norway.

A revised version of 'Disco Inferno' was planned to be touring across the UK in the autumn of 2012, until the producer pulled the show citing 'financial reasons'. He then went on to use Dani Harmer as an excuse, as shortly after the tour's cancellation, she announced that she would be taking part in the tenth series of Strictly Come Dancing. Creatives of the show and Dani's management team have said that these rumours were untrue.

Casting would have included: Sam Attwater as 'Jack', Dani Harmer as 'Jane' and Javine Hylton as 'Lucretia MacEvil'

The tour would have been going to the following theatres:
