Set in the 1930's, 42nd Street is one of the boldest musicals in Broadway history. It tells the story of a young dancer named Peggy Sawyer and her ambitious desire to be a star. She leaves her Allentown, Pennsylvania home and lands in New York with hopes of being cast in director Julian Marsh's new Broadway production. She finds herself front and center after the leading lady breaks her ankle, and is thrust into stardom. With a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin, this show is sure to "tap" into the hearts of The Muny audience.
