The ultimate Showbiz musical, 42nd Street celebrates Broadway, Times Square and the people who make the magic of musical theatre!

 

Come and hear those dancing feet at Amarillo Little Theatre as the ALT Academy and AAA Electric present 42nd Street. Winner of Best Choreography and Best Musical at the 1981 Tony awards, 42nd Street follows the tap-dancing company of a Broadway show as they work to produce a hit in the midst of the Great Depression.

Highly successful Broadway producer Julian Marsh finds himself down on his luck with the rest of the country in 1933. When he decides to put all he has into making another hit, Broadway hopeful Peggy Sawyer finds a way to make this show her debut. But when disaster hits the entire company, the success of the show falls squarely on Peggy’s shoulders. Can the show truly go on? Through rigorous rehearsals filled with huge dance numbers and fantastic songs, Julian, Peggy and the rest of the company try to save their show and their jobs.

42nd Street features 25 fantastic Academy students ages 11 – 18, directed by Academy Director Mikayla Garren. Academy Instructor and Music Director Brandon Bellar brings the music of Harry Warren to life, and Academy Instructor and Choreographer Beth Alexander fills the stage with exciting tap numbers. The set is beautifully designed by Tana Roberson and Tiffany Laur costumes the cast expertly. Academy alumna Kaycee Humphrey serves as Assistant Director and Velvet Knight and Austen Jones are Production Assistants.
