(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- Skyrocketing to popularity in the 1970s, the Disco sound ascended out of Manhattan’s discotheque scene, combining pop, funk, R&B, synthesizers with powerhouse singers to create the dance soundtrack for a generation.
This summer, while Bally’s Atlantic City celebrates its 45th Anniversary, guests will have a chance to travel back in time and enjoy the sights and sounds of the time when Bally’s Atlantic City opened its doors in 1979 as they present Disco Inferno, running every Sunday at 8:00pm starting June 23rd in the Bally’s Showroom. The tribute features an accomplished cast of singers, dancers and musicians, eye-catching costumes, and stunning choreography from the Disco era.
“Disco Inferno is a highly entertaining theatrical presentation that ignites images and remembrances of a dance floor musical era gone by, when the music, lyrics, and driving beats electrified a generation,” said producer Allen Valentine. Featuring the music of The Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Michael Jackson, Gloria Gaynor, KC and the Sunshine Band, Anita Ward, ABBA, Barry White, plus many more, Disco Inferno will transport those who witnessed it, back to the moment when they first heard these songs on the dance floor of their popular discotheques.
Disco Inferno is produced by Allen Valentine. Jillian Reed choreographed the show, Linda Voermans is the production manager. The musical director is Arland Gilliam. Costume design by Kristine Valentine.
After the show, keep celebrating Bally’s Atlantic City’s 45th Anniversary all summer long by getting your groove and boogie on at the Disco Inferno Pop Up Bar in The Carousel Bar! Join us for a night of live entertainment, specialty cocktails, and appearances by the talented cast of Disco Inferno.
