A new official musical celebrating the hit songs of KC and The Sunshine Band – Get Down Tonight – is heading to the West End’s Charing Cross Theatre in London.
The show was previously called Who Do Ya Love?, and premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last year.
Now called Get Down Tonight: The KC and The Sunshine Band Musical, the show will run at Charing Cross Theatre from 19 September to 15 November 2025.
The musical celebrates the early life of Harry Wayne Casey – the King of Disco from KC and The Sunshine Band, and features a full-on blast of iconic dance floor hits from the 1970s.
Over 20 KC and the Sunshine Band songs are featured in the show, including Give It Up, Please Don’t Go, Boogie Shoes, That’s the Way (I Like It), and Get Down Tonight!
Get Down Tonight is centred on the true story of KC’s early years in 1970s Miami, and promises to be a joyous tribute to love, friendship and the music that united a generation.
The musical is written by J. F. Lawton (Pretty Woman The Musical) and developed with Harry Wayne Casey. Direction and choreography is by Lisa Stevens (The Witches of Eastwick, Mary Poppins, and Spamalot).
The creative team also includes Musical Supervision, Orchestrations and Arrangements by Mark Crossland, Set Designer Bretta Gerecke, Lighting Designer Jai Morjaria, Sound Designer Chris Whybrow, Associate Director & ChoreographerSierra Brewerton, and Casting Director Anne Vosser.
Casting for Get Down Tonight: The KC and The Sunshine Band Musical is to be announced.
The show is produced by ATG Productions, Gavin Kalin Productions, Harry Wayne Casey, CTK Enterprises and LPO.
The cast in Edinburgh last year included Paige Fenlon (Pretty Woman) as Dee, Fionán O’Carroll (The Rocky Horror Show) as Harry, Annabelle Terry (Whatshername) as Gina, and recent Royal Academy of Music graduate Peter Camilleri as Orly; and the ensemble features Lydia Bell, Evan Taylor Benyacar, Ashley St John and Sheehan Parsons.

Harry Wayne Casey (KC) said in a statement: “There’s something infectious about dance music and the way it allows people to escape from the world and find themselves at the same time. I’m excited to share this show we’ve created with audiences in London, from the generations who were there with me in the 70s, to younger ages who just know me from the hits on the radio, in the movies or on TV shows. Everyone can connect to the music. We just wanted to bring that nostalgia to the stage and I wanted to show people a little bit more about who I am. For me, this is about telling the story of what helped shape my dreams into reality. It is a sample of life and emotions among four good friends in the early 70’s. After all these years, the music has allowed me to tell that story. Enjoy the music, the magic, the musical!”.
