It’s big… it’s bright… it’s a brand-spanking new Made at Curve co-production of ‘the original showbiz musical,’ 42nd Street!

Jonathan Church (Singin’ In The Rain, The Drifters Girl) directs the iconic song-and-dance spectacular featuring a hit parade of toe-tapping songs including ‘42nd Street’, ‘We’re In The Money’, ‘Lullaby of Broadway’, ‘Shuffle Off To Buffalo’, and ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’.

Choreographed and designed by Olivier Award winners Bill Deamer and Rob Jones42nd Street is a timeless and inspiring showbiz fairy tale that combines breath-taking tap dance routines, backstage intrigue, classic romance and delightful comedy to dazzling effect. It’s simply irresistible!

Fresh off the bus from small-town America, young and beautiful Peggy Sawyer arrives in New York City dreaming of her name in lights. She quickly catches the eye of a big-time director and 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.

With a star cast that includes Ruthie Henshall, Adam Garcia and Les Dennis, as well as Nicole-Lily Baisden (Anything Goes) as Peggy Sawyer, 42nd Street is a larger-than-life, massively entertaining celebration of musicals and the irrepressible spirit of Broadway that’s guaranteed to lift anyone’s spirits.

Don’t miss it!
