“Come
and meet those dancing feet…”
WINNER! TONY AWARD FOR BEST NEW MUSICAL 1980
& BEST MUSICAL REVIVAL 2001
The Broadway Musical for people who love Broadway
Musicals
Winner of the 1980 Tony Award for ‘Best New Musical’
and the 2001 Tony Award for ‘Best Musical Revival,’
42ND STREET will open in Tokyo, Japan this summer for a five week
engagement, followed by an extensive North American tour beginning
in Huntsville, Alabama, October 15, 2004.
A Broadway legend, 42ND STREET defined musical comedy, with
its star-is-born story, spectacular design, score of hit standards,
the largest show chorus and the most admired ensemble tap dancing
ever to tour North America. The original Broadway production of
42ND STREET ran for more than 8 years and is one of the ten longest-running
shows in Broadway history. The Broadway revival opened May 2,
2001 at the Ford Theatre and remains the jewel in the crown of
a renewed and invigorated 42ND STREET in New York City.
A true Lullaby of Broadway, 42ND STREET features such Broadway
standards as: “We’re in the Money,” “Shuffle
Off To Buffalo,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “I
Only Have Eyes For You,” and, of course, the spectacular
title number, “42nd Street,” dazzlingly danced down
a flight of steps. Described by critics as “Virtually nonstop
pleasures,” Linda Winer, Newsday, “Tap-dance heaven!”
Michael Kichwara, Associated Press, “Pure exhilaration,”
Clive Barnes, The New York Post, “Lavish showmanship that
shines from every last sequin,” Charles Isherwood, Variety,
and, “Pure Razzmatazz!” Clifford A. Ridley, The Philadelphia
Inquirer.
