Bogart recreates a disastrous 1973 Casablanca launch party in his new biopic, Spinning Gold, which opens in theaters today. The film also features Broadway actor Jeremy Jordan as Neil Bogart and musicians playing the members of Kiss. Bogart and his brother have also created a stage musical based on their father's story that they hope will open on Broadway in spring 2024.

Uncovering the Untold Story of Casablanca Records' Founder in 'Spinning Gold'

The new biopic "Spinning Gold" tells the story of Neil Bogart, a young Brooklyn hustler who became a famed music executive and launched some of the era's biggest talents, including Kiss, Donna Summer, and the Village People. Bogart's entrepreneurial spirit started at a young age, and he eventually changed his name and became a singer before working in promotions and marketing at various record labels. He made his biggest imprint with Casablanca Records, which suffered with the death of disco and was eventually sold to Polygram. Bogart passed away in 1982 from cancer at the age of 39.
