The second massive New York import in less than a month, 42nd Street brought its lullaby of Broadway to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane last night.

42nd STREET – Paris

In International, London theatre, Musicals, Opinion, Reviews by Jonathan BazLeave a Comment

Dan Burton who plays Sawyer’s love interest Billy Lawlor is another of Mear’s regular ingénues, last seen in the West End’s Gypsy.

Other Brits in the cast include Alexander Hanson, Ria Jones and Jenny Dale.
