Exhilarating Dance Numbers from Broadway’s Best: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqKqdKaegdaIfJY

[@autumnfranklin6790]

When I did this in high school. (I played Dorothy Brock) they let all the dancers paint their tap shoes. One girl painted herself orange to match her costume and put little paper butterflies all over them. They were beautiful

[@jameslarosa2396]

I remember when the curtain went up and I saw this live. What a great feeling for an old tap dancer..

[@heathersfan_17]

saw this live in 2018. best revival for a show. EVER

[@Anime_theatre_lover]

I am 14 years old and theater recently did 42nd street. We had 3 shows. 1 on Friday and 2 on Saturday. I was a swing and I had to play Mac because the original Mac couldn’t perform because she got sick. I was in all the tap numbers and I had a lot of costume changes

[@RosieTheWickedFangirl2007]

I went to see 42nd street twice, at the little theatre and then I went to see it at the Curve and I remember loving it💚

[@CorneliaAmiri]

I just watched this 2019 musical movie on BroadwayHD - it's a fun show

[@cynthiaflorsheim264]

Love all these songs.

[@mattnelson3058]

Omg!! Amazing!!

[@onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677]

Incredible

[@patrickowen2460]

This is the London West End revival.

[@colonyofrats4193]

"Broadway's best" is a performance from a west end show lmao

[@philipgundill237]

Yep it's the one I saw at the Theatre Royal!

[@shmalfie8674]

This is the West end

[@elisabethvanduyne6418]

Just to be clear, this is NOT the Broadway cast.

[@mauriziopoggio7960]

OMG...................

[@heloisebenusiglio2764]

I know it’s streaming somewhere but I don’t know exactly on which website it is ! Does anyone know ? I’ve been dying to watch it for months!

[@jocelynmartinez3174]

It went on air on PBS greatest performance just look that up and maybe you can find it

[@CorneliaAmiri]

@@jocelynmartinez3174 I watched it on BroadwayHD which I believe you can get free for a one week trial period - I added the channel on Amazon Prime Videos

[@thecharlesfalcon]

Where did u get this?

[@stvp68]

How come none of the dudes are wearing shorts?

[@Skittl1321]

Because the show takes place in the 1930s and that just wouldn't make sense for the time period.

[@aidanmcilvenna1539]

Oh okay, so basically friend like me, but different.

[@HarringtonTribal]

Except - this was choreographed by Gower Champion in 1980 - long before Aladdin, the musical was even around. (Probably before Adam Jacobs was even born. :-))
