"AN ABSOLUTE KNOCKOUT!
42nd Street is back, and all is right with the world!
-John Simon, New York Magazine
"THE UNEXPECTED TRIUMPH OF THE SEASON!
This new 42ND STREET flies like a magic bird from the overture on. It's a whiz of a show that could send the Venus de Milo out tapping her toes and even snapping her fingers. Pure exhilaration."
-Clive Barnes, New York Post
"VIRTUALLY NONSTOP PLEASURES!
This 42ND STREET is terrific. A blissful "Lullaby of Broadway" that respects its audiences and has a kick doing it. An expertly delirious extravaganza, a rhapsody of happy feet."
-Linda Winer, Newsday
"BROADWAY RAZZLE-DAZZLE AT ITS BEST.
You'd never know there'd been an earlier version, so thrilling, so energetic is this production. The evening cascades from one boundlessly energetic number to another, topped only by the most sensational finale you'd ever want to see! Toe-tapping, foot-stomping sensational. If you can't get tickets for The Producers, 42ND STREET is the musical to see."
-Jeffrey Lyons, WNBC-TV
"Dance routines that spill across the stage like ear-to-ear grins."
-Elysa Gardner, USA Today
"SENSATIONAL!
This 42ND STREET is loaded with talent. And you know it as soon as the curtain rises"
-Howard Kissel, Daily News
"From the moment the curtain goes up, audiences will be delighted by the old-fashioned, lavish showmanship that shines from every last sequin of this glittering pinball machine of a musical."
-Charles Isherwood, Variety
"Lavish settings and costumes, a terrific score, and musical production numbers staged with flair, precision and exuberant. There are few sights and sounds to gladden a musical theater lover1s heart quite as much."
-Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter
"A darn good show! An exquisite gem of a production. I had truly forgotten how much of a pleasure it is to have those dancing feet front and center once again."
-Roma Torre, NY1 News
"100% ENTERTAINMENT!
A beautiful blur of color, costumes, comedy, lights, scenery, tuneful tunes and tap-tap-tapping. A cascade of musical comedy pleasures."
-Dennis Cunningham, WCBS-TV
"Tap-dance heaven!"
-Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
"Whatever it is about tap dancing that induces euphoria, it's in full glory here."

It1s all quite irresistible."
-Clifford A. Ridley, The Philadelphia Inquirer
"PREPARED TO BE WOWED!
A dazzling explosion of song, dance, light, color and costumes. Vastly improves on the original by leaps and bounds. One show-stopping number after another. The best bang for your buck on Broadway. You'll leave the theatre floating on air."
-Neil Rosen, WABC Radio
"SUPERB. A big, bold, brassy spectacular with more dancing feet than you1d find on a centipede. Everything works to perfection. Run over to the Ford Center and tap-dance right up to the ticket-window and buy a ticket!"
-David F. Richardson, WOR Radio
"IT DAZZLES AND DANCES away any new economy recession blues with its bright new shining stars and New York at its most promising."
-Casper Citron, WOR Radio
"42ND STREET has restored the thrill of spectacle, provoking a thrill of joy and a heartfelt burst of applause. It's the kind of bright and sparkling show you dreamed of seeing as a kid. 42ND STREET is not original, or profound, or earth-shattering. It's just a damn good time, a celebration of what the script calls "the two most glorious words in the English language: musical comedy."
-Richard Ouzounian, The Toronto Star |
