Nov. 11-12: Chelsea High School Theatre Guild presents ‘42nd Street’

Chelsea High School Theater Guild (Chelsea Update would like to thank Kristi Kerr-Cook for the information in this story.)         

The Chelsea High School Theatre Guild will present “42nd Street” on Friday, Nov. 11 and Saturday, Nov. 12 in the Chelsea High School Auditorium.

Directed by Katherine Altman, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and some of the greatest songs ever written, including “We’re In The Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway” and, of course, “42nd Street.”

The story follows the cast and crew of a Broadway show set to open in the midst of the Great Depression. Anxious to make her way to the New York stage, Peggy Sawyer (senior Samantha Dunlap) from Allentown, PA auditions and just barely makes it into the cast.

Thrown into a confusing love triangle between the show’s director, Julian Marsh (junior Max Caselli), and the leading man, Billy Lawler (sophomore Zachary Spitzley), Peggy struggles to prove herself as a chorus girl.

When the show’s star, Dorothy Brick (senior Skylar Kerr), breaks her ankle, it is Peggy’s turn to take her role and save the show. Supported by her newfound friends in the cast and crew, can Peggy defy the odds and become Broadway’s next big star?

Performance dates and times:
Friday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m.

Saturday, Nov, 12  at 1 and 7 p.m.

All performances will be held at the Chelsea High School Auditorium
