The classic Broadway hit “42nd Street” will be dancing and singing its way to the H. Ric. Luhrs Performing Arts Center on Oct. 8.
The show, which opened on Broadway in 1980, has seen a long and historic tenure as one of musical theater’s best shows, winning Tony and Oliver Awards along the way.
The show follows Peggy Sawyer, who arrives in New York City from Allentown, Pennsylvania, with little more than a smile and a dream of trying to break into the Broadway world.
The show’s hilarious dialogue and creative character development make it a must-see show for anyone who enjoys musical theater.
Come watch the hilarity ensue as Sawyer goes from “youngster” to “star” in a show that ran for more than 3,000 Broadway performances.
The new production of “42nd Street” is directed by Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner. The duo won the Tony Award for Best Revival in 2001 for Bramble and Skinner’s work on “42nd Street.”
The show will star Matthew J. Taylor as Julian Marsh, Kaitlin Lawrence as Dorothy Brock and Caitlin Ehlinger as Peggy Sawyer.
Reserved tickets for Thursday’s show are $65, $59 and $49 and are currently on sale through the Luhrs Center either on its website, luhrscenter.com, or at the box office.
