Solihull Arts Complex

Peterbrook Players present 42nd Street, a dazzling celebration of musical theatre, packed with glamour, sequins, and iconic songs. From breathtaking dance numbers to uplifting melodies and an inspiring story, it has something for everyone of all ages. A true feel-good show for all the family - guaranteed to send you out tapping your feet and dreaming of your own pair of tap shoes.

With classic songs including 'Lullaby of Broadway', 'We’re in the Money', 'Dames' and the titular song, 42nd Street tells the story of Peggy Sawyer, a talented young performer with stars in her eyes who gets her big break on Broadway.

Peggy arrives in New York City from her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, armed with her tap shoes and big dreams. Peggy’s talent catches the eye of legendary Broadway director Julian Marsh, who gives her a spot in the chorus of Pretty Lady, his newest show. Pretty Lady stars Dorothy Brock, the classic Broadway diva, who takes an instant dislike to the new girl in the cast. When Dorothy is injured during the show’s previews, Pretty Lady looks like it will have to close, unless a new girl talented enough to lead the show can be found - someone like Peggy Sawyer!
