42nd Street tells the story of a naive young actress names Peggy Sawyer who has come to audition for a new Broadway musical. Unfortunately, due to her nervousness, Peggy arrives to the audition late and misses her chance to join the chorus. Luckily, Peggy soon catches the eye of the famous director, Julian Marsh, and he gives Peggy her big break. However, the show's aging leading lady, Dorothy Brock, quickly grows to dislike Peggy. On opening night, Ms. Brock falls and breaks her ankle. Panic spreads through the company, as the show is doomed for closure, until it is suggested that Peggy take the role. In only 36 hours, Peggy learns twenty-five pages, six songs, and ten dances. Song standards that came from 42nd Street include "We're In The Money", "Shuffle Off to Buffalo", "Lullaby of Broadway", and "About a Quarter to Nine". A Little Thresher's Dinner is included. |
