42nd Street at Chichester Festival

Chichester Festival Theatre has announced its season today and the rumours are correct and 42nd Street will be playing there from 12th June-18th August.

The production will be directed by the fabulous Paul Kerryson with Julian Kelly assisting as Musical Director.

42nd Street was a Tony Award Winner for Best New Musical when it premiered in 1980. The show was produced in London in 1984 (winning an Olivier Award for Best Musical) and its 2001 Broadway revival again won a Tony for Best Revival..  It is pure showbiz with great choreography and one show-stopping number after another.

42nd Street is the inspiring story of small town girl Peggy Sawyer’s meteoric rise from the chorus line to Broadway star.

It is fully of great Broadway numbers including  Lullaby Of Broadway, We’re In The Money, Keep Young And Beautiful, I Only Have Eyes For You and, of course 42nd Street.
