WHITE suits, chest wigs and medallions - it can only mean one thing. Saturday Night Fever is coming to town. Forget Martin Bell on the campaign trail.
The rightful place for the white suit is on a multi-coloured dance floor, worn by someone who really knows how to strut his stuff.
More specifically, it belongs on the hero of Saturday Night Fever, Tony Manero.
Saturday Night Fever, based on the smash hit movie of the same name was the first, and is arguably still the best disco musical.
Its funky moves and feverish tunes capture the spirit of the seventies - the decade, with its glitz, glitter, flares and mirrorballs, that taste forgot.
Danny Sellings, who appeared in the West End production of the musical, steps into John Travolta's figure-hugging flares as Tony Manero.
Manero is a young man, stuck in a dead end job, who seeks escape from his mundane existence at the disco.
Whereas in his everyday life his is powerless, on the dance floor he is king.
A dance contest gives Manero the opportunity to put his love of pointy dancing to good use, and finds love on the way.
Of course, a dancer is only as good as his tunes, and Saturday Night Fever has the funkiest soundtrack of all time.
The show features musical gems from the movie, including If I can't have you, How deep is your love, You should be dancing, Jive talkin' and, of course, Stayin' alive.
It also features two new songs, Immortality and First Aid, written especially for the show by the Bee Gees.
Danny Sellings is joined by Zoe Smith, in the role of Stephanie Mangano, and a supporting cast of 30, along with a 13-piece band.
