'42nd Street the Musical' HD Screening
From the event description:
One of Broadway's most classic and beloved tales comes to cinema screens in the largest-ever production of this breathtaking musical. Set in 1933, "42nd Street" tells the story of Peggy Sawyer, a talented and ambitious young performer who gets her big break on Broadway after arriving in New York City from her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania. She’s cast in the chorus of musical-within-a-musical "Pretty Lady," but the show’s diva star, Dorothy Brock, takes an instant dislike to the new girl. It’s a stage extravaganza full of crowd-pleasing tap dances, popular musical-theater standards like “Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re in the Money,” “42nd Street” and more, plus show stopping ensemble production numbers.
When: Friday, June 21, 7 p.m.
Where: Hammer Theatre Center, 101 Paseo De San Antonio Walk
Price: $10
