Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick's musical Disaster!, a parody of 1970's disaster movies, opened March 8, 2016, at Broadway's Nederlander Theatre. In the musical, earthquakes, tidal waves, inferno,s and rampant wildlife can’t stop an outrageous cast of characters from dancing, gambling, and singing the night away aboard New York’s first floating casino and discothèque.

Directed by Plotnick, with a book by Rudetsky and Plotnick, the production played 32 previews and 72 performances before closing May 8, 2016.
