About

The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and includes some of the greatest songs ever written, such as "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 the new Broadway musical Pretty Lady.  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 is directed by co-author Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival.

    My new favorite show

    by normyrealname on 1/30/17Tennessee Theatre - Knoxville

    Loved, loved, loved it. Great musical numbers. The dancing was great. How can you not like tap dancing. Didn't realize some of the songs I had heard growing up were from this musical. I went with my 27 year old daughter and we both enjoyed it. Did the time step all the way to the car. The singers were out of this world too.

    42nd Street was Amazing

    by Julie476 on 1/26/17Shea's Performing Arts Center - Buffalo

    42nd street was such a great musical. A lot of tap dancing and singing.. Very enjoyable, I would definitely go to this again. If I went again I would want to be closer in the balcony or on the floor.

    The tap dancing was amazing! They were so in sync and it's sound resonated. I also love the costumes. I'm curious how they change so fast. :).

    42nd Street was enjoyable but dated.

    by Searay29 on 1/24/17Shea's Performing Arts Center - Buffalo

    While 42nd Street had a great cast filled with an amazing amount of talent, the show needs to be updated for the times. I found the story line simple and a bit boring. Singing and dancing by all cast members very good. Great costumes. Would like to have seen more of the finale put into the show.
