The Hoogland Center for the Arts is excited to present the regional premiere of the hysterical Broadway musical Disaster! on March 13-15 & March 20-22, 2026 in the LRS Theatre on the 1st floor of the Center.
Disaster! is a parody of everyone's favorite disaster movies of the 1970's, featuring some of the most unforgettable songs of the '70s. "Knock on Wood," "Hooked on a Feeling," "Sky High," "I Am Woman" and "Hot Stuff" are just a few of the scintillating hits in this hilarious musical comedy with a book by three-time Emmy Award nominee and SiriusXM Broadway host, Seth Rudetsky, and Jack Plotnick. The Hoogland’s production will be directed by Joe-Michael Jackson and Ginny Racette, who recently co-directed the Hoogland's hit production of Little Shop of Horrors.
It's 1979, and New York's hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. Also attending is a faded disco star, a sexy nightclub singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys who are looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman and a nun with a gambling addiction.
What begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love that they've lost... or at least escape the killer rats.
