You must be logged in and have a valid library card to stream downloadable content

In the 1970s, disco and rock were transforming the musical as audiences knew it. Stories about families dancing together on rolling hills were replaced with stories of rebellious kids, strutting disco dancers, and transvestites with a taste for intergalactic mayhem. We take an in-depth look at Cabaret, the film that rocketed Liza Minnelli to stardom, and John Travolta's iconic performances in Grease and Saturday Night Fever. We also examine The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Tommy, and Rock N' Roll High School, and discover how Charlie and the Chocolate Factory made Gene Wilder a household name
