One of Broadway’s most successful musicals ever is coming to Auckland for a strictly limited season.
The high-kicking, high-energy theatrical extravaganza that changed the face of Broadway musicals, will turn Auckland’s Civic, THE EDGE, into a dance hall of the grandest scale from October 2. Tickets will go on sale on July 7 and are priced for all the family to enjoy.
42nd Street is a big, bold musical set in 1933 that celebrates the stuff that dreams are made of. It’s a story of hard work, being in the right place at the right time, talent and love. It’s a celebration of Broadway and the people involved in shows.
Featuring dazzling costumes and set from the latest Broadway Revival, 42nd Street will bring the memories flooding back with hit show tunes including You’re Getting to Be a Habit with Me, Dames, Only Have Eyes for You, Lullaby of Broadway, Shuffle Off to Buffalo, Forty-Second Street and We’re In the Money - lucky for many Kiwis as Lotto’s original jingle!
New Zealand-born star of international stage and television Derek Metzger plays famed dictatorial director Julian Marsh as he attempts to mount a successful stage production of “Pretty Lady” - a musical extravaganza at the height of the Great Depression.
42nd Street - proudly presented by Auckland Music Theatre, the company that recently bought us the critically acclaimed season of Rent - will feature some of New Zealand’s finest talents.
