42nd Street at Weathervane Playhouse

The ultimate show-biz musical, 42nd Street celebrates Broadway, Times Square, and the people who make the magic of musical theatre. Aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer comes to the big city, from Allentown, PA, and soon lands her first big job in the ensemble of a glitzy new Broadway show. But just before opening night, the leading lady breaks her ankle. Will Peggy be able to step in and become a star? She has exactly 36-hours to learn 25 pages, 6 songs, and 10 dance numbers. At long last, the Broadway curtain opens … the show is a spectacular hit … and Peggy Sawyer is a sudden sensation! The score is chock-full of Broadway standards, including “You’re Getting To Be a Habit With Me,” “Dames,” “We’re In the Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off to Buffalo” and “Forty-Second Street.”
