The big-cast musical hasn't been produced at Vista's Moonlight Amphitheatre since 2009
These days much of the news coming out of the live theater world is bad. Smaller audiences and fewer donations have led companies to slash their budgets and staffs, shorten their seasons and produce smaller shows, while many theaters have shut down for good.
Patrick Cummings as Julian Marsh and Emma Nossal as Peggy Sawyer in Moonlight Stage Productions’ “42nd Street.”With a cast of 40, a brass-rich live orchestra and a seemingly endless wardrobe of lavish costumes, Moonlight Stage Productions’ “42nd Street” is not only an affectionate homage to the early days of the Great White Way, but also a reminder of the epic-scale, tap-dancing musicals that have been missing from local stages since the pandemic hit in 2020.
The 1980 musical “42nd Street” was based on a 1931 novel and its 1933 film adaptation, which introduced the songs by Harry Warren and Al Dubin that make up most of the musical’s score. The musical’s book was written by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble who preserves with sincerity the ‘30s-era corny show-biz vernacular, theatrical tropes and period situations, but with a sense of humor that makes many of the lines both amusing and endearing.
