Listen to the Lullaby of Broadway at Music Mountain Theatre

42nd Street opens at Music Mountain Theatre on January 5!

Music Mountain Theatre opens 2018 with 42nd Street, a classic musical theatre hit. Artistic directors Louis Palena and Jordan Brennan are re-creating the show’s iconic choreography by Gower Champion – listen to the “Lullaby of Broadway” in Lambertville!

One of show business’s most classic and beloved tales, 42nd Street tells the story of Peggy Sawyer, a talented young performer with stars in her eyes. Broadway director Julian Marsh gives her a spot in the chorus of Pretty Lady. Pretty Lady stars Dorothy Brock, who gets injured and leaves the show. Peggy’s rise from showgirl to star is the stuff of show business dreams. 42nd Street is full of crowd-pleasing tap dances, popular musical theatre standards, and show-stopping ensemble production numbers.

The production stars Brian Kelly as Julian Marsh, Anna Hentz as Dorothy Brock, and Jaimie Geddes as Peggy Sawyer. All three Doylestown residents have previously worked with the company. Kelly has been seen at their previous venue at the Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre in Spamalot, Sweeney Todd, and Shrek. Hentz just starred as Velma Von Tussle in Hairspray at Music Mountain Theatre in November and has appeared at the Open Air Theatre in Ragtime, Gypsy, and Chicago. Geddes appeared at the Open Air Theatre in Jekyll & Hyde, Sweet Charity, and Chicago.
