Fresh off the bus from small-town America, young and beautiful Peggy
Sawyer arrives in New York City dreaming of her name in lights. She
quickly catches the eye of a big-time director and lands a spot in the
chorus line of Broadway’s newest show…and when the leading lady gets
injured, Peggy gets her shot at stardom.This song-and-dance spectacular features a hit parade of toe-tapping songs, including the title number, “We’re In The Money”, “Lullaby of Broadway”, “Shuffle Off To Buffalo” and “I Only Have Eyes For You”. 42nd STREET is a timeless and inspiring showbiz fairy tale that combines breath-taking tap dance routines, backstage intrigue, classic romance and delightful comedy to dazzling effect.
42nd STREET has music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Al Dubin, and book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, based on the novel by Bradford Ropes. Original direction and dances were by Gower Champion. The show was originally produced on Broadway by David Merrick.
