Being in the cast of Emmanuel’s production of “Disaster!” has been a dream come true because it has allowed me to do two of my favorite things: dance and listen to 70s music. Because of my parents, this decade of music was an essential part of my childhood, and I was curious about what songs my fellow singers, dancers and actors enjoy as well. If you are looking for music to get your boogie on before seeing “Disaster!” or are looking for some tunes that will take you back in time, here are some of our cast’s favorite songs:
1. Victoria Harding (Golden Fever Dancer): “Beast of Burden” -The Rolling Stones
