42nd Street

A classic backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and includes some of the most popular songs ever written, including “We’re In The Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off To Buffalo,” “Dames,” “I Only Have Eyes For You,” and, of course, “42nd Street.”

Based on a novel by Bradford Ropes and Busby Berkeley’s 1933 movie, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for a new Broadway musical. When the leading lady breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and becomes a star. With a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin, this sparkling new production features the work of Mark Bramble and Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival.

Directed by John Ewing. Choreographed by Terri Taylor. Musical Direction by Jonathan Rothman.
