42nd Street comes to cinema screens in the largest-ever production of the breathtaking musical. Set in 1933, the musical tells the story of Peggy Sawyer, a talented young performer with stars in her eyes who gets her big break on Broadway.
Peggy arrives in New York City from her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and her talent catches the eye of legendary Broadway director Julian Marsh. She gets a spot in the chorus of the musical-within-the-musical Pretty Lady. The classic Broadway diva and show star, Dorothy Brock dislikes the new girl. When Dorothy is injured, Pretty Lady looks like it will have to close unless a new girl talented enough to lead the show can be found — someone like Peggy Sawyer!
Filmed in 2018 at London’s Theatre Royal, the production is directed by Mark Bramble, the original author of the show. This eye-watering extravaganza is full of crowd-pleasing tap dances, popular musical theatre standards (“Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re in the Money” (the gold digger’s song), “42nd Street,” and more), and show-stopping ensemble production numbers.
