Experience the magic of Broadway with the largest-ever production of the beloved musical 42nd Street, now coming to cinema screens. This dazzling performance was filmed live in 2018 at the iconic London Theatre Royal under the direction of Mark Bramble, the show’s original author.
Set in 1933, 42nd Street tells the captivating tale of Peggy Sawyer, a hopeful young performer from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Upon arriving in New York City, Peggy’s remarkable talent quickly caught the eye of the legendary Broadway director Julian Marsh. She secures a spot in the chorus of the musical-within-the-musical Pretty Lady.
As the story unfolds, tensions rise when the classic Broadway diva and star of the show, Dorothy Brock, instantly dislikes Peggy. However, when Dorothy suffers an injury, the entire production of Pretty Lady is at risk of closing. Now, the show desperately needs a new lead capable of saving the day—someone exactly like Peggy Sawyer.
This production of 42nd Street is a breathtaking extravaganza, filled with crowd-pleasing tap dances, beloved musical theatre standards such as “Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re in the Money,” and the titular “42nd Street.” The show’s ensemble numbers are spectacular, promising to bring the audience to their feet.
Organized by the Arizona Theatre Company at the Temple of Music and Art, this cinematic event offers a unique opportunity to witness a Broadway classic reimagined on a grand scale. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy 42nd Street, a story of ambition, drama, and the allure of the Broadway lights. Join us for a night of dreams and celebrate the spirit of musical theatre in high style.
