Show-stopping numbers abound in this classic musical
Why see 42nd Street?
We're in the Money!
Toronto! It's time to travel back in time to the golden age of the Broadway musical in the spectacular 42nd Street as it will be showing at the Princess of Wales Theatre this Winter - a perfect Christmas gift for all. Full of Busby Berkley-esque numbers and larger-than-life characters, this musical is set during the great depression and follows Peggy Sawyer on her quest to land a role in the Great White Way's hottest new show. Along the way she encounters tyrannical directors, prima donnas past their prime, and plenty of backstage romance.
While it's based on the 1933 movie of the same name, 42nd Street first debuted on Broadway in 1980, where it won a Tony and ran for over 3000 performances. Among its many famous numbers are 'We're in the Money,' 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams,' and 'I Only Have Eyes For You.'
