Nostalgia Night is a new musical that follows eight high school graduates from Laughlin, Nevada through their grad night at an underage '80s-throwback club. When one of the students makes a big mistake, the staff at the club end the party, "turning the lights on," and the rest of the show up until the very final moment is performed entirely under harsh, white worklights.
