FORTY-SECOND STREET
is a big, bold musical, set in 1933, that celebrates the stuff
dreams are made of. The curtain rises on Andy Lee, the dance
director who is auditioning kids for the chorus of a new show
Pretty Lady. Young Peggy
Sawyer has missed the audition because she has spent an hour
trying to muster up her courage at the stage door. Billy , the
romantic lead, tries to help her see the producer, Julian Marsh,
but Julian has no use for latecomers. Julian is worried about
Dorothy Brock, the leading lady whose last hit was ten years
earlier, but whose beau, Abner Dillon, is backing the show.
Just then, Dorothy and
Abner arrive, and Julian suggests that Dorothy audition. Abner
reminds Julian that Dorothy does not have to try out for anyone.
Peggy has lunch with some of the girls at the Gypsy Tea Kettle,
and they are amused by Peggys naivete. They dance back to the
theater and Julian, walking by, sees how talented Peggy is. He
hires her for the chorus.
Peggy faints during
rehearsal and is brought ro Dorothys dressing room where Pat
Denning, Dorothys real boyfriend, is waiting. Dorothy walks in,
and misleading what she sees, thinks that Pat is two-timing her.
The cast throws a party, and Dorothy has to much to drink. She
tells Abner to take his money and leave. Abner is ready to close
the show, but the kids are able to talk him out of it.
Pretty Lady opens
spectacularly, but when Dorothy rushes on stage, she falls and
breaks her ankle. Panic spreads through the cast, and finally
they turn to Peggy to keep the show alive. Peggy, the novice,
has exactly 36 hours to learn 25 pages, 6 songs and 10 dance
numbers. As Julian says, by the next evening hell have either a
live leading lady or a dead chorus girl! At long last, the
Broadway curtain rises on "Pretty Lady." The show is a fabulous
hit, and Peggy Sawyer is a sudden sensation. Broadway is a truly
magical place once again.

Were In the Money
