BroadwayHD Will Film West End Production Of 42ND STREET

BroadwayHD has announced that it will film the live stage production of 42nd Street at The Theatre Royal on the West End to be added to its streaming line-up for 2019. The show is being captured this week.

42nd Street has the largest cast on the West End, with over 50 actors, tapping in unison, and featuring the songs: 42nd Street, We're In the Money, Lullaby of Broadway, and Shuffle Off to Buffalo to name just a few. The show tells the story of famed theater director Julian Marsh as he tries to mount a musical extravaganza at the height of the Great Depression. Mark Bramble, who co-wrote the book, also directs, Randy Skinner choreographs, and Lord Michael Grade, Michael Linnit and Dr. Johnny Hon produce the stage show.
