The tap dancing was awesome, made the show different from others and the crowd was always cheering them on. Highly recommend for anyone to see.

It‘s a dancing show. Singing is average. The story is banal. Peggy Sawyer was a world class stepping dancer, Dorothy a a singer not at her top.

For anyone who has never seen a musical this is a wonderfull expérience. The costumes, lights, dancers, direction, are exceptional. The dancers are fabulous : penny is exceptional, a great and talentuous dancer. We were a little disappointed by the music which reflects the gold âge of musicals but is a little bit ...outdated.

Review: 42nd STREET at The Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Stacey Tyler | Thursday, April 6 2017, 14:20
42nd Street was last seen at The Theatre Royal Drury Lane on London’s West End in 1984. Now playing at the same theatre as it did then, it is undeniably back where it belongs. Keeping its loyalty to the story yet putting a new and exciting spin on the show itself, this is the perfect revival of such an amazing old fashioned musical. The score is wonderful, and vividly brought to life by Jae Alexander and his 18 strong orchestra. With songs such as 'We're in the Money', 'Lullaby of Broadway' and the title number '42nd Street' this is one musical that will have you tapping your feet all the way home!

Everything you need to know about 42ND STREET at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Stuart King | Monday, April 3 2017, 09:20
This musical is Broadway's story about Broadway; those for whom it is home and the starstruck, from-out-of-town wannabes eager for their big break, a slice of success in the spotlight and with a bit of luck, (or someone else's misfortune), a fleeting dalliance with stardom.
