42nd Street LIVE Performance (2019 London)

Summer Stock at Incanto Vallarta
Hosted by Dennis Crow

42nd Street

42nd Street is an American musical with a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, lyrics by Al Dubin and Johnny Mercer, and music by Harry Warren. The 1980 Broadway production, produced by David Merrick, directed by an ailing Gower Champion and orchestrated by Philip J. Lang, won the Tony Award for Best Musical and became a long-running hit. The show was produced in London in 1984 (winning the Olivier Award for Best Musical) and its 2001 Broadway revival won the Tony for Best Revival.
Based on the novel by Bradford Ropes and the subsequent 1933 Hollywood film adaptation, the show focuses on the efforts of famed dictatorial Great White Way director Julian Marsh to mount a successful stage production of a musical extravaganza at the height of the Great Depression.
The show is a jukebox musical of sorts, in that, in addition to songs from the 1933 film 42nd Street, it includes songs that Dubin and Warren wrote for many other films at around the same time, including Gold Diggers of 1933, Roman Scandals, Dames, Gold Diggers of 1935, Go into Your Dance, Gold Diggers of 1937 and The Singing Marine. It also includes Theres a Sunny Side to Every Situation, written by Warren and Johnny Mercer for Hard to Get. A 2017 revival added the song Boulevard of Broken Dreams, written by Warren and Dubin for Moulin Rouge.
Previews of coming events will be shown at 7:15 pm, followed by an Introduction by Dennis Crow and the Steamed Video of the performance recorded March 28 and March 29, 2019, at Londons Shaftesbury Theatre.

There will be one (1) 10-minute intermission. In case of technical problems beyond our control, we reserve the right to substitute another blockbuster event.

There will be a 10-minute introduction to the film by Dennis Crow with a discussion to follow as appropriate.

Thank you, and enjoy the show.
