"You don’t have to go to New York City to get Broadway. The magic is just a few miles away. "

"Shuffle, chassé or step ball change right off to Westchester Broadway Theatre to see “42^nd Street.”

"The glittery “Song and Dance Fable of Broadway,” set in the style of big movie musicals, packs a wallop with high-energy tap dancing, great tunes and zesty performances by a cast of seasoned professionals. " " The audience goes along for the joy ride, buffeted with the musical’s exhilarating choreography, shimmering costumes and songs by Harry Warren and Al Dubin " "O’Bryan is perfect as Peggy, with her crystal clear soprano, megawatt smile and killer tap moves. Todd Lattimore, as Billy Lawlor is outstanding as the “most tappy fella.”

Debra Banerjee... The Scarsdale Inquirer

"Westchester Broadway Theatre's production of 42nd Street gives you a lot for your money—lots of singing, lots of dancing, and lots and lots of fun." "...show-stopping, full-ensemble numbers every few scenes or so—with elaborate costumes and other trimmings, of course. (Contestants on Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance who think they have it rough because they have to perform one routine a week should check this out.)" "You can just sit back, watch the cast race from number to number, and get lost in a little sparkle."

"42nd Street the tap dancing extravaganza! Get ready to kick up your heels and tap dance the night away! The singing and acting is superb. It’s a fun show for all ages and is highly recommended. If you love Broadway musicals and cabaret, this one is the icing on the cake."

Suzanne Rothberg..North County News
