42nd Street
29th March - 2nd April 2005

Music by Harry Warren - Lyrics by Al Dublin - Book by Michael Stewart & Mark Bramble
Originally produced on Broadway by David Merrick

Based on the novel by Bradford Ropes, 42nd Street employs that theatrical favourite 'a show within a show'.

Set in 1933 the characters take you through many entertaining scenarios from the tiring rehearsals and backstage squabbles to the spectacular song and dance routines of the final show; 'Pretty Lady', when a young girl becomes a star after the original leading lady is injured.

Originally a novel, then a film in 1933, with dazzling routines choreographed by Busby Berkeley, the musical version opened on Broadway in 1980.  A London production opened four years later, and ran for four and half years before going on a national tour, returning for a further season in London in 1991.
