Hear the beat of dancing feet with Broadway's beloved Tony Award®-winning dance spectacular 42nd Street.

Starry-eyed Peggy Sawyer arrives in New York City in search of her big break. She catches the eye of legendary director Julian Marsh and gets hired as a chorus girl in his next big-budget extravaganza ... much to the dislike of the show’s star, Dorothy Brock. But when the leading lady literally breaks a leg, Peggy might have a shot at stardom.

Will a star be born? Find out in this love letter to the stage packed with glitz, glamour, dazzling choreography, and sensational songs like “Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re in the Money,” and “Shuffle Off To Buffalo.” Don’t miss the celebrated Broadway musical that has captivated audiences on 42nd Street, and around the world.

Recommended for ages 10 and up.

Running Time: 2 hours and 15 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission.
