Nobody does Broadway-style productions quite like Lyric, and Chicago
audiences will love the Tony-winning song-and-dance spectacular 42ND
Street when it comes to Lyric next spring! Broadway stars Norm Lewis
and Faith Prince make their Lyric debuts in the roles of famed
Broadway director Julian Marsh and Dorothy Brock, the seasoned diva
who sees her star status eclipsed by a rising newcomer. The story
centers on a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves
her home in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to audition for the new Broadway
show Pretty Lady, staged by Julian Marsh. When leading lady Dorothy
Brock breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and rises from chorus girl to
star status overnight. You’ll love the sensational tap numbers and
memorable melodies like “Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re in the
Money,” “You’re Getting to Be a Habit with Me,” "Shuffle Off
to Buffalo," "Keep Young and Beautiful," "Quarter to Nine," and the
famed title song, in a high-energy, new-to-Chicago production that is
as beautiful to see as it is to hear. With the full power of members
of the Lyric Orchestra and Chorus, don’t miss the spectacle of this
Broadway blockbuster—only at Lyric!
