HONG KONG AFTER MIDGNIGHT: The Disco Disco Musical
In 1970s British Hong Kong, Gordon Huthart opened legendary gay club Disco Disco—at the height of police crackdowns on gay men. Based on firsthand accounts, HONG KONG AFTER MIDNIGHT follows Gordon’s battle against police, triad gangs, and addiction as he and his community fight for a place to get together and dance in the city they call home. With a rollicking disco score that will send you dancing into tomorrow, HONG KONG AFTER MIDNIGHT captures the highs and lows of parties and progress in a colonial city fast approaching its Handover to China.
