“The bacchanalian spirit of the 70s, along with the harsh realities of the working-class at the end of the age of prosperity, clash but transform into the glamorous, yet wanting world of “Saturday Night Fever” in director Patrick Campbell’s vision of the disco-era anthem. Campbell’s Bay Ridge Brooklyn alternates between the decaying nuclear family of the Manero household and the glitzy promise of the 2001 Odyssey night club.
Backdrops are earth toned but not natural and forgiving as their organic matter belies a weakness to the elements of social change that Campbell highlights skillfully with amping up the tension when the music isn’t meant for dance.”
- Sam Desmond / Long Island Advance
