NOT everything old is necessarily gold. Wine, cheese, vinyl records: sure. White polyester suit, bell-bottom pants, disco music: tread carefully.

Some things are better left untouched and Saturday Night Fever The Musical, based on the 1977 John Travolta film of the same name that paid tribute to the dance craze (and dodgy fashion sense) of that era, is probably one.

High on nostalgia but draggy when nobody's actually doing any singing or dancing on stage, this adaptation has lived on despite the largely lukewarm reviews it has received.
