Disaster! is a Jukebox Musical written by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnik and which is a parody of melodramatic disaster movies - specifically those from the 1970s. Floating casino/discotheque Barracuda is celebrating its opening night while numerous plots unfurl inside it - Chad and Scott are waiters attempting to pick up girls while Chad is confronted by the presence of his ex-fiancee, Marianne Wilson, a reporter attempting to uncover a story about the owner of the Barracuda, Tony del Vecchio, cutting corners in the construction. Meanwhile, Sister Mary Downy (a nun with a former gambling addiction) strikes up a friendship with married couple Shirley and Maury, discovering that Shirley is keeping her terminal illness a secret from her husband. Jackie, a lounge singer hired by Tony to celebrate the opening, has to deal with her twin children Ben and Lisa, as well as warnings from noted disaster expert Professor Ted Schneider that there will be an imminent earthquake. After one vibration too many from all the dancing and slot machines, the earthquake is finally triggered...though that's only the first disaster of many.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The musical was originally conceived and written in 2012, receiving three tryouts before finally making it to Broadway in 2016. The show pays homage to (and parodies) many '70s disaster movies, as well as many tropes associated with jukebox musicals. | |

Annoying Younger Sibling: Ben and Lisa are twins and it's never revealed which is younger than the other, but they seem to be this to each other most of the time. | |

Asshole Victim: Though he doesn't die, Tony could be counted as this since he loses both his arms to sharks. | |

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Several of the characters have a tendency to get distracted by insignificant things. More than once, it doesn't end well for them. | |
