MONDAY night fever shimmied its way into Glasgow a few nights ago and rapidly spread to the rest of the week. There are only three more nights to catch Boogie Nights, the show with extra flare, at the King's until May 30.

This new musical is the simple story of Roddy, a young Jack the Lad who loves his Debs - but loves the idea of being a superstar more. It's summer in the late seventies and this often hilarious tale is told to an accompaniment of the best disco music of the time.

I know what you're thinking - ooh, no, it's that Shane Richie isn't it? Put all thoughts of washing powder and tacky game shows behind you, for Roddy is the ideal part for Richie. And so it should be. The whole show was devised for the Churchill Theatre in Bromley late last year by Jon Conway along with Terry Morrison and - Shane Richie.

It has been on a national tour but now it arrives in Glasgow, a city that likes to party.

The plot does little more than provide a framework for the music but there is some fine comic

acting and not forgetting that

all-important feel-good factor which any musical worth its salt should engender. Tickets from 0141 287 5511.

If you missed Passing Places at Edinburgh's Traverse last year, there are three more chances to see it at the Citizens Theatre and say you saw the live version before writer Stephen Greenhorn's screenplay adaptation is committed to film and goes ballistic.

Described by one critic as ''the cast of Trainspotting let loose in the country of Whisky Galore'', Passing Places follows two young men from Motherwell on their trip to Thurso to catch some waves - with only a surfboard and a Lada for company. Oh and there's a psychotic ex-boss on their trail too. It promises to crush the perception of contemporary Scotland - and who would argue with that?

Meanwhile in the Circle Studio at the Citizens', until the same date Theatre in Action revive James Kelman's The Busker in which three street people try to get by using any manner of means. Tickets for both Citizens shows from 0141 429 0022.

Another night which promises to be explosive is Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? presented by Over the Rainbow productions at the Cottier Theatre in Hyndland Street, again until Saturday.

If the play has escaped you then the classic Burton/Taylor film surely has not. It's the uncomfortable account of a night when a

history professor and his wife are joined by young students for an evening which spirals downward into a drunken night of insults and cruel games. Tickets from 0141 357 3868 (between 4pm and 8pm) 0141 287 5511 at other times.

More explosive entertainment this time from the stomp and swagger of Jaleo Flamenco, the group of award-winning flamenco dancers from Seville who are recognised for their authenticity of their performance. It has been 10 years since Jaleo first performed in Britain and since then they have taken this traditional Spanish art across the world - and tomorrow, for one night, they bring the excitement of their dance to the stage of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. For those who have seen them before, this is a new programme; for those who will experience it for the first time, prepare to have your passions aroused. But telephone 0141 287 5511 before you get too hot and bothered.
