Atlantic Theater Company's world-premiere production of Stephen Trask and Peter Yanowitz's This Ain't No Disco has released new photos of the production ahead of a July 24 opening night. Check out photos from the dance floor in the gallery below.

Featuring a book by Trask, Yanowitz, and Rick Elice, and score by Trask and Yanowitz, This Ain't No Disco stars Krystina Alabado, Will Connolly, Eddie Cooper, Tony d'Alelio, Lulu Fall, Hannah Florence, Antwayn Hopper, Chilina Kennedy, Peter LaPrade, John-Michael Lyles, Krystal Mackie, Trevor McQueen, Nicole Medoro, Ian Paget, Theo Stockman, Samantha Marie Ware, and Antonio Watson. Darko Tresnjak directs.

An impressionistic rock opera, This Ain't No Disco is set against the grit, the garbage strikes, and the graffiti of 1979 New York City and tells the story of drifters and dreamers searching for their place in the night world of Studio 54 and Mudd Club. In their uptown/downtown quest for revelry and kinship, every decision is fateful in a city where one's fate can turn on a dime bag.

This Ain't No Disco features scenic design by Jason Sherwood, costume design by Sarah Laux, lighting design by Ben Stanton, sound design by Emily Lazar, projection design by Aaron Rhyne, and musical direction by Darius Smith.
