Friday, March 10 -
7:30pm
Saturday, March 11 - 7:30pm

Synopsis:
42nd Street is the "Cinderella story of Broadway." Set in the 1930s, small-town girl Peggy Sawyer tries to break into a New York show but has trouble getting noticed. Once in the show, she rehearses with the company and becomes noticed by other cast members. Then, on opening night, Peggy accidentally trips the show's diva, Dorothy Brock, causing Dorothy to break her ankle. Peggy steps out of the chorus to save the show and becomes a Broadway star. The show boasts such musical numbers as
We're in the Money, A Quarter to Nine, The Lullaby of Broadway and the show-stopping title number
42nd Street.
The cast of 47 includes young men from Aim High School, Catholic Central High School, Farmington High School, Redford Union High School and St. Mary's Prep. With another 54 students working on stage, sound, light, costume, makeup and usherette crews, there are over 100 students involved in bringing this major production to the Mercy stage.
Tickets: The show is set for Friday and
Saturday, March 10 and 11 at
7:30 p.m. and
Sunday, March 12 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 for adults and $13.00 for students and children. Tickets are on sale now and may be purchased at the Reception Area, or by calling the Drama Office at 248-893-3572, or purchased at the Box Office the evening of the performance.
