The ultimate show-biz musical! 42ND STREET celebrates Broadway, Times Square, and the people who make the magic of musical theater.
Come along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway! Tap along as aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer comes to the bright lights of New York City from Allentown, Pennsylvania, armed with her tap shoes and big dreams. Peggys talent catches the eye of legendary Broadway director, Julian Marsh, who gives her a spot as a chorus girl in Pretty Lady, his newest show. However, Pretty Ladys leading lady, Dorothy Brock, the classic Broadway diva, is not pleased with the new girl in the cast. When Dorothy breaks her ankle during the shows previews, Pretty Lady looks like it will have to close before it even opens, unless a new girl talented enough to lead the show can be foundperhaps someone like Peggy Sawyer? Will Peggy be able to step in and become a star? With a score chock-full of Broadway standards, including Youre Getting to Be A Habit With Me, Dames, Were In the Money, Lullaby of Broadway, Shuffle Off to Buffalo, and the titular song Forty-Second Street, do not miss your chance to experience the glitziest, toe-tapping musical of the Summer!
