Summer: The Donna Summer Musical. She was a girl from Boston with a voice from heaven, who shot through the stars from gospel choir to dance floor diva. But what the world didn’t know was how Donna Summer risked it all to break through barriers, becoming the icon of an era and the inspiration for every music diva who followed.

With a score featuring more than 20 of Summer’s classic hits including “Love to Love You Baby,” “Bad Girls” and “Hot Stuff,” this electric experience is a moving tribute to the voice of a generation.

“IF YOU’RE LOOKIN’ FOR HOT STUFF, YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE. SUMMER delivers the seasonal sunshine – with toe-tappingly familiar songs, stellar performances, shiny costumes, and a reminder of the impact of its subject on the music industry at large. Incredible vocal performances that made me sit back in my seat and mouth ‘whoa!’” – Entertainment Weekly
