Cast
Jack Green (a.k.a. Jack Flash)
A 21 year old wannabe superstar, currently working in 'Disco Inferno'. He is very much in love with his high-school sweetheart, Jane. A dreamer who becomes overwhelmed by the very life he desires.
Jane Jack's girlfriend. Strong and confident, Jane just dreams of a life together with Jack. She craves security and stability.
Tom Jack's best friend, who remains loyal and true to his mate at any cost. Despite this loyalty, Tom is by no means a hit with members of the opposite sex and is constantly in a state of romantic chaos.
Maggie

Jane's best friend and Tom's girlfriend. Naive and a bit clueless and very much Tom's female equivalent.

Heathcliffe Hard drinking, hard rocking nightclub singer. He is arrogant, aggressive and controlling especially when dealing with his girlfriend, Kathy.
Kathy

A girl from the wrong side of the tracks who always dreamed for something more, a better life for herself. Kathy will stop at nothing in her quest for the 'easy life'.

Lady Marmalade The femme fatale. A high powered promoter who signs Jack to a contract. She won’t let anything get in the way of what she wants, Jack's very soul. She acts as the devil's right hand woman.
Duke

Owner of the "Disco Inferno", and a surrogate father figure for Jack.

Terry

The ‘DJ’ at "Disco Inferno" and great mates with Jack and Tom. A real ladies man who keeps the joint jumping.

Nick Diablo A larger than life, fashion consultant to the stars. Nick also has a sinister side and works closely alongside Lady Marmalade.

The Story

It’s the summer of 1976. Outside, the weather is as hot as the fashion and passion are on the dance floor and Jack is about to celebrate a 21st birthday he’ll never forget. Working late in a London Dance Club, ‘Disco Inferno’, Jack meets Lady Marmalade – the devil’s right hand lady. Dreaming of becoming successful, he makes a Faustian pact with her, trading his soul to fulfil his wildest fantasies. Sound like an ideal bargain? Think again. He becomes an instant and international success. However, success proves hollow. Jack has fame and fortune but is losing his girlfriend, Jane. If only he could turn back time and make one more trade, trading all he has for something far more important... love.

This highly acclaimed musical combines a hilarious script, fantastic characters and a score of hits from an unforgettable era of glitter, flares and platform shoes. ‘Disco Inferno’ is a high energy musical guaranteed to warm hearts, get feet tapping and audiences leaving the auditorium with a daft grin of pleasure and the fondest memories of a sensational era. ‘A night to remember’
