“Set in the 1930’s,” 42nd Street, according to press notes, “is one of the boldest musicals in Broadway history. It tells the story of a young dancer named Peggy Sawyer and her ambitious desire to be a star. She leaves her Allentown, Pennsylvania home and lands in New York with hopes of being cast in director Julian Marsh’s new Broadway production. She finds herself front and center after the leading lady breaks her ankle, and is thrust into stardom.“ The musical has a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble and music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin.

Scenic design is by Michael Schweikardt with costume design and coordination by Andrea Lauer, lighting design by Rob Denton, sound design by John Shivers and David Patridge, and video design by Matthew Young. Wig design is by Leah J. Loukas, and the production stage manager is Laurie Goldfeder.
