42nd Street

The Tony-award winning 42nd Street is a rollicking backstage musical based on the Bradford Ropes novel and inspired by the 1933 Busby Berkeley film of the same name.

When the leading lady of his new production falls ill, Peggy gets her big break and becomes a big star. Music by Harry Warren. Lyrics by Al Dubin. Book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble.
