From its six-year run in New York City to a world tour from London to Seoul, the celebrated smash hit The Donkey Show now takes Boston by storm, bringing the ultimate disco experience – a crazy circus of mirror balls and feathered divas, of roller skaters and hustle queens. Come party on the dance floor to all the 70s disco hits you know by heart as the show unfolds around you. The Donkey Show tells the story of A Midsummer Night’s Dream through the great 70s anthems, including “We are Family,” “I Love the Nightlife,” “Car Wash,” “Ring My Bell,” and “Last Dance.” The enchanted forest of Shakespeare’s classic comedy becomes the glittered world of retro disco as the lovers escape from their real lives to experience a night of dream, abandon, and fantasy.

Directed by Diane Paulus

"Guys, have you heard about this new club in Harvard Square? It’s swankier than Redline, and it beats the pants off of the Hong Kong. It’s called Oberon, and I think there used to be a theater there or something. Oh wait, it’s still a theater, you say?

In case you couldn’t tell from the crowds of glittery young things swelling on the corner of Arrow Street and Massachusetts Avenue, “The Donkey Show” isn’t business as usual at the American Repertory Theatre."
