Elaine’s Musical Treat 42nd Street at Keith C. and Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center

Exclusive production sponsor Elaine J. Wold invites you to 42nd Street, a performance directed by Lynn University Assistant Professor Danielle Jolie Dale-Hancock and featuring Lynn’s B.F.A. in drama program students.

Based on the novel by Bradford Ropes and the motion picture owned by Turner Entertainment Co. and distributed by Warner Bros., 42nd Street follows the rehearsal process for a Broadway show during the height of the Great Depression. The musical, written by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, follows small-town Peggy Sawyer as she lands her first chorus job in the ensemble of a glitzy new Broadway show. When the leading lady breaks her ankle before opening night, Sawyer must step in and save the day. With music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin, the score is chock-full of Broadway standards, including "You're Getting to be a Habit with Me," "Dames," "We're in the Money," "Lullaby of Broadway," "Shuffle Off to Buffalo" and "42nd Street."

42nd Street is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC. The use of all songs is by arrangement with Warner Chappell Music, the owner of music publishers’ rights.
