A love letter to Broadway, a tap dance tour de force, and a romantic comedy all rolled into one! At the height of the Great Depression, starry-eyed Peggy Sawyer arrives in New York City and lands her first big job in the chorus of a glitzy, new Broadway show. But when the leading lady breaks her ankle, will Peggy get her shot at stardom? A Tony® Award-winner for Best Musical, 42nd Street features favorites like "Lullaby of Broadway,” "We’re in The Money,” and "Shuffle Off to Buffalo.” This breathtaking song-and-dance spectacular is a show biz fairy tale that’s guaranteed to lift your spirits!
