Steph’s casting in the star role is a rare case of life imitating art - 42nd Street tells the story of a young actress being given her shot at stardom after the leading lady is injured, and charts the understudy’s rise from showgirl to star. 42nd Street remains the biggest show in town with a cast of over 50 performing in this Broadway fable with a score including ‘We’re In The Money’, ‘Lullaby of Broadway’, ‘Shuffle Off To Buffalo’, ‘Dames’, ‘I Only Have Eyes For You’, and ‘42nd Street’. 42nd Street is now booking until 20 October 2018 at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane
