42nd Street

Company: David Ian and Jonathan Church present the Leicester Curve and Sadler’s Wells production Running time: 2h 35min approx

Fresh off the bus from small-town America, young and beautiful Peggy Sawyer arrives in New York City dreaming of her name in lights.

He quickly catches the eye of a big-time director and lands a spot in the chorus line of Broadway’s newest show… and when the leading lady gets injured, Peggy gets her shot at stardom.

With a star cast that includes Ruthie Henshall, Adam Garcia and Les Dennis, as well as Nicole-Lily Baisden (Anything Goes) as Peggy Sawyer.

Jonathan Church (Singin’ In The Rain, The Drifters Girl) directs the song-and-dance spectacular featuring songs including "42nd Street", "We’re In The Money", "Lullaby of Broadway", "Shuffle Off To Buffalo" and "I Only Have Eyes For You".

Choreographed and designed by Olivier Award winners Bill Deamer and Rob Jones, 42nd Street is a showbiz fairy tale that combines tap dance routines, backstage intrigue, classic romance, and comedy.
