WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
42nd Street is a big, bold musical which celebrates the stuff that dreams are made of, with lots of great songs, and an emphasis on big, splashy, production dance numbers including; "We're in The Money, "Lullaby of Broadway", "You're Getting To Be Habit With Me," "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," and of course, the title number "42nd Street." Tony nominee Randy Skinner directs and choreographs.
The show is based on the novel by Bradford Ropes and the subsequent 1933 film adaptation. It is a backstage story about the efforts of famed Great White Way director, Julian Marsh, to mount a successful stage production of a musical show called "Pretty Lady, at the height of the Great Depression. The star, Dorothy Brock, because of a broken ankle, is unable to perform and the show may have to close. A young, fresh, talent named Peggy Sawyer, emerges from the chorus. She not only saves the day, but is an absolute sensation, and goes on to become a star herself.
The production will return January 7-February 6, 2010.
What are other members saying?
RE:It was grand, grand, GRAND!
A spectacular night at the theatre! Randy Skinners choreography adds a fresh and wildly entertaining new element to the classic show. The show was clean, polished, and professional.
Seeing the classic tap dancing spectacular performed on a thrust stage with the audience on three sides was new and exciting. Seeing its performers adapt and adjust to accommodate its unique audience lay out was quite impressive and innovative.
The food left things to be desired... but was made up for in exceptional service.
Westchester Broadway continues to deliver spectacular Broadway caliber productions! Cant wait for Nine...
