Get Down Tonight: The KC and The Sunshine Band Musical will play for a limited run at the Charing Cross Theatre from 19 September- 15 November 2025.
Inspired by the early years of singer, songwriter, producer and musician Harry Wayne Casey (who also collaborated on this production) and set against the backdrop of 1970s Miami, this feel-good show highlights the friendships, relationships, love and music that brought a whole generation together. 20 of the band's hits are woven into the story, which centres on a group of best friends.
The production, which was previously titled Who Do Ya Love?, first played at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last summer. Now Get Down Tonight has been extended to a 90-minute long production without an interval.
Harry Wayne Casey (KC) said, “There’s something infectious about dance music and the way it allows people to escape from the world and find themselves at the same time. I’m excited to share this show we've created with audiences in London, from the generations who were there with me in the 70s, to younger ages who just know me from the hits on the radio, in the movies or on TV shows. Everyone can connect to the music. We just wanted to bring that nostalgia to the stage and I wanted to show people a little bit more about who I am. For me, this is about telling the story of what helped shape my dreams into reality. It is a sample of life and emotions among four good friends in the early 70’s. After all these years, the music has allowed me to tell that story. Enjoy the music, the magic, the musical!"
The book for the musical was written by J. F. Lawton (Pretty Woman: The Musical). Lisa Stevens (The Witches of Eastwick) directs and choreographs the piece.
The cast for Get Down Tonight will be announced in due course.
