A NEW production of 42nd Street will play Mayflower Theatre in 2023.

The Curve and Sadler’s Wells version of the musical features the toe-tapping songs We're In The Money, Lullaby of Broadway and I Only Have Eyes For You.

Fresh off the bus from small-town America, young and beautiful Peggy Sawyer arrives in New York City dreaming of her name in the lights. She quickly catches the eye of a big-time director and lands a spot in the chorus line of Broadway’s newest show…and when the leading lady gets injured, Peggy gets her shot at stardom.

42nd Street is a timeless showbiz fairytale that combines breathtaking tap dance routines, backstage intrigue, classic romance and delightful comedy.

The show will be directed by Jonathan Church (Singin’ in the Rain, The Drifters Girl) with casting to be announced soon.

It will run from October 3 to 7, 2023 with tickets on general sale on December 12.
