Gateway Theatre presents the Tony Award–winning musical 42nd Street, hitting the mainstage from December 10 to January 2, 2027. Official opening night is on December 11.
Peggy Sawyer is a small-town girl with big Broadway dreams. When she arrives in New York City, she lands her first role in a glitzy new musical on Broadway. But when Peggy gets her chance in the spotlight, she must see whether she’ll be able to step out of the line and shine.
42nd Street is full of high-energy choreography and toe-tapping songs—including “Lullaby of Broadway” and “Shuffle Off To Buffalo”—that ooze old-school showbiz charm. It’s based on the novel by Bradford Ropes and the motion picture 42nd Street, and features music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Al Dubin, and a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble.
Gateway’s creative team includes director-choreographer Nicol Spinola, music director Sean Bayntun, and costume designer Donnie Tejani.
Tickets are available here.
