I love this guy's crazy dancing, I love the disco lights and I love the music, but as a show, this does not work (yet). Too casual delivery of the storyline and lack of variation in presentation mean that the production falls flat. But I believe there is a good show in there struggling to get out.

Why did the artist not let us sing: Yes sir, I can boogie.......... The performance was charming and the pieces of dance and movement were well chosen; but....why the images of his youth and the president of autralia??;we (nearly 50) could imagine his attraction to discomusic; so we amused ourselves; the end was too sudden,that was a pity!

3 stars (actually 2.5). It just wasn't entertaining. The thread is one boy/man's love of disco as he grows up, but there's no meat, no new observations, and a few jokes. If you don't find the opening bit with slides funny and entertaining, you'll be in for a long hour. That was the best bit of the show.

This show was "okay" and the performer was very likeable - but I never threw back my head and really laughed. He kept my interest. I chuckled. The script just wasn't meaty enough for me. Thus - 3 stars.

As much as I love the disco, this show was lacking plot and action. I enjoyed hearing about the performer's Australian disco life of yore, but I wanted more and I think the talented performer can deliver more. He's an awesome dancer! Love the slideshow and beaded curtain.

Trevor Wight gives us a slideshow history of his world according to disco, complete with various performed gyrations. No prophecies in sight, Australian or otherwise. There are some touching references to the way his parents’ lives were reflected in their dancing abilities. At a time when the political and economic worlds may be too much on our shoulders, it may be a good thing to lighten the burden by reducing our perspective to something as simple as social dance. Heavy social commentary, no. People-pleaser, yes.

A very tight, very entertaining one-man show. The mix of dance and monologue helps keep things fresh, and the comedic timing is splendid. Worth it for the "boogie/don't boogie" sequence alone.

Funktastically funny, Disco Prophecies is an extended twelve inch remix of fashion faux-pas, youth culture identity crisis and the liberating release of booty-shaking to the cheese-ball confections of seventies disco (even in Australian bars where beer, birds and the occasional punch-up are the featured attractions). Studio 54 it ain't, but Trevor Wight takes us on an utterly unselfconcious tour through his suburban dance fever and celebrates the highs that don't need to be Hedwig-melodramatic to hit home as true, funny and deserving of disco dramatisation. All that and he places AC/DC in a pre-monsters of rock context as Australian beer-dance boogie. You'll laugh, you'll laugh some more, you'll tap your feet maybe. So go see it. Flared dance-pants optional.
