About This Performance
42nd Street is the quintessential Broadway backstage musical that captures the magic, heartbreak, and relentless ambition of show business during the Great Depression. Based on the 1933 novel by Bradford Ropes and the subsequent Hollywood film, this beloved musical features a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble with the unforgettable music and lyrics of Harry Warren and Al Dubin. Since its Tony Award-winning Broadway debut in 1980, 42nd Street has become a theatrical institution, celebrating the golden age of tap dancing and the dream of making it big on the Great White Way.
Expect an exhilarating evening filled with spectacular tap choreography, soaring melodies, and the timeless story of small-town dreamer Peggy Sawyer who gets her big break when the leading lady is injured. The musical pulses with energy from iconic numbers like "We're in the Money," "Lullaby of Broadway," and the show-stopping title song. This is comfort food for musical theater lovers – a feel-good celebration of perseverance, talent, and the magic that happens when the curtain goes up. Both newcomers and seasoned theatergoers will find themselves swept up in its infectious optimism and dazzling production numbers.

Located in Folsom, California, this state-of-the-art venue offers excellent sightlines and acoustics that allow every tap step and soaring note to resonate throughout the theater.
