“For this new, reinvented production of the beloved Broadway musical 42nd Street we’re looking at the show through a different lens. It will capitalize on all the show-biz glamour of the much-lauded original, but reimagined to reflect the world we live in today so it can speak directly to a contemporary audience,” said director Heitzman in a statement.
