42nd Street is a larger-than-life celebration of musicals and the irrepressible spirit of Broadway. Fresh off the bus from small-town America, young and beautiful Peggy Sawyer (Nicole-Lily Baisden) arrives in New York City dreaming of her name in lights. She 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.
The big attraction of the show is the dancing and songs, from We’re In The Money to Lullaby of Broadway and I Only Have Eyes For You.
