42ND STREET to Bring Classic Musical Comedy to the Van Wezel

The dazzling stage extravaganza 42ND Street dances back to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Friday, December 30 at 8PM.

The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and includes some of the greatest songs ever written, such as "We're In The Money," "Lullaby of Broadway," "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," "Dames," "I Only Have Eyes For You" and of course "42nd Street."

Based on a novel by Bradford Ropes and Busby Berkeley's 1933 movie, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for the new Broadway musical Pretty Lady. When the star breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and becomes a star. With a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin, this sparkling new production will be directed by co-author Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Revival.

Witness the magic of musical theatre for yourself with the sensational production of 42ND Street at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.

Tickets are $36-$91 available for purchase at VanWezel.org, the Box Office, or by calling 941-953-3368.
