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.
Fabulous show!!! Great scenery, wonderful costumes, great actors, talented dancers, the music was terrific! Thank you for an enjoyable evening.
The performance was very uplifting and made you smile through out! The singing was very good and the dancing was spectacular!
I absolutely LOVED this show!!! Years back I had seen it in NYC and loved it then, and the two mirrored each other. The dancing was spectacular, the singing great, and the production was wonderful. Anyone who loves a musical would really enjoy this and I highly recommend it!
The show was great entertainment from the minute it started until the minute it ended. The quality of the voices and the dancing are superb.
Cast was great from end to end. Music costumes and sets were perfect as was the venue.
What a wonderful, refreshing show! We left the theatre with smiles on our faces and tapping in our feet.
The tap-dancing was amazing and the talent of the cast was tremendous. Great voices, acting, singing and dancing.
This production was "okay". The talent was there and of course the choreography of the wonderful Gower Champion, plus the great music was fun, but I didn't like the story, it was a weak, silly, plot that has been done over and over, the unknown girl plucked from the chorus line to replace the stuck-up DIVA who gets injured or sick. It didn't have a good love story or any kind of tension between characters. We also thought this particular production company was a little worn out looking, sets, costumes were just drab and could have been a little flashier to go with the upbeat music. I know it was a sound stage for rehearsals most of the time, but it could have had more in between or something to make it seem like a bigger production.
I took a group of 16 and we all thoroughly enjoyed 42nd Street!! The tap was AWESOME, the costumes and shoes were BEAUTIFUL and the facility was Superb!! I will definitely seek another opportunity to see 42nd Street. I would also travel to the Von Braun Center for another event.
