Review: Musical Theatre West Revisits Classic 42ND STREET in Long Beach
by Michael Quintos - Feb 13, 2024

Despite its lack of any real, serious stakes, the show itself is still a fun time.

This is one very good reason for a new production to be mounted, just four years after the Theatre Royal Drury Lane version closed its doors.
