M & M Stage Productions Presents "42nd Street" at Kelsey Theatre

(WEST WINDSOR, NJ) -- Prepare to tap your feet along with M & M Stage Productions as they present the enduring and endearing classic “42nd Street” at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC’s) Kelsey Theatre. The entertainment quotient doesn’t get higher than in this show that combines crowd-pleasing tap dances, popular musical theater songs, and show-stopping ensemble production numbers.Dates and show times are Fridays, July 14 and 21 at 8:00pm; Saturdays, July 15 and 22 at 8:00pm; and Sundays, July 16 and 23 at 2:00pm.

Peggy Sawyer, a small town girl with big time talent, arrives in New York with hopes to be on Broadway and lands a spot in the chorus line of a new musical, “Pretty Lady.” When lead actress Dorothy Brock twists her ankle right before opening night, Peggy is picked to take her place. Says "Pretty Lady" director Julian Marsh, “You're going out there a youngster, but you've got to come back a star!" Delightfully corny, with romance and hilarious wisecracks throughout, “42nd Street” is a part of musical theater history that never gets old.

The musical score includes some of the greats: “We’re In The Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off To Buffalo,” “Dames,” “I Only Have Eyes For You” and of course “42nd Street.”
