Saturday Night Fever (Secondary School Edition)In this beloved ’70s throwback, Tony Manero, a nineteen-year-old Brooklynite paint store clerk, spends his weekends at a local disco, where he moonlights as the king of the dance floor. When he and mesmerizing dancer Stephanie enter a dance competition, the pair’s professional partnership blossoms into a deep friendship, and challenges both to reflect on what’s important in life amidst rising social tensions and disillusionment. Featuring the timeless hits of the Bee Gees and classic disco tracks, this reimagined version of Saturday Night Fever transports you back to the era of disco balls, platform boots, and white suits. Burn, baby, burn!

Casting
Tony Manero
Male - 19
Handsome, charismatic Brooklyn Italian. Ringleader of his gang of friends, The Faces. Tough guy exterior with vulnerability underneath – a “thinker,” not a “talker.” He comes alive whenever he dances. (Range: A2-G4)
Bobby
Male - 19
One of the Faces. Genuine and less self-assured than the other guys. He breaks up with his high school girlfriend, Pauline at their urging, and continuously struggles with doing the right thing. Strong singer/actor who can move, Brooklyn accent. (Range: C3-A4
Gus
Male - 19
One of the Faces. A follower. Not afraid to lie to cover his own ass. Strong singer who can move, Brooklyn accent.
(Range: E3-F#4)
Double-J
Male - 19
One of the Faces. A charming and funny jokester and a real bruiser. Physically the toughest of the gang. Strong
singer/actor with great comedic timing, who can move, Brooklyn accent. (Range: C3-F#4)
Joey
Male - 19
One of the Faces. A real “wise-guy” with possible connections. Strong singer/actor who can move, Brooklyn accent. (Range: E3-A4)
Monty - Any Age
The MC, DJ, and gatekeeper of 2001. Good-looking and charismatic with a big personality. After Tony, the coolest person in town. Strong singer who can move. (Range: B2-G4)
Frank Manero

Tony’s father. An out of work construction worker who feels like the world has turned its back on him. Brooklyn accent.

Tony’s mother. A devout Catholic, she cares deeply for her family, and especially idolizes her son, Frank Jr. Brooklyn accent.

Tony’s brother who has left the priesthood. Humble and full of good advice. A strong actor with a Brooklyn accent.
Linda Manero
Female - 15-16
Tony’s little sister. Sunny and spunky.
Brooklyn accent. Linda could double in the chorus or you could just include her in some chorus numbers at 2001 as if she sneaked in with a fake ID.
Stephanie Mangano
Female - 20
(pronounced with a hard G, as in “mango”) Puts on airs to hide her Brooklyn upbringing, but every now
and then a bit of the old neighborhood comes out. She may be pretentious and lack tact at times, but she is still genuinely likeable. Strong singer/actor and dancer, Brooklyn accent. (Range: Bb3-F#5)
Pauline
Female - 19
Sweet and optimistic ex-girlfriend of Bobby. She is hurt by Bobby’s behavior, but there’s a larger issue that’s concerning her. Strong singer, Brooklyn accent. (Range: G3-E5)
Annette
Female - 19
Overeager to please, a “puppy-dog” with an insecure edge. Is incredibly hurt that Tony does not have feelings
for her. Strong actor/singer and dancer, Brooklyn accent. (Range: F3-C5)
Candy
Female - Any
The resident singer of 2001. Sexy and confident, beloved by everybody. Strong singer/belter. She has a great deal of singing to do. (If a female is cast as MONTY, MONTY and CANDY
