It's a red, white and blue kind of day. 🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July!

Entertainment doesn’t get much bigger than this. Witness the birth of a star in 42nd Street at Theatre Royal Drury Lane. 42ndstreetmusical.co.uk

You absolutely have to see this show. You owe it to yourself. What a wonderful experience. The perfect joy. I was enthralled from beginning to end. Thank you for allowing me into your world of exquisite talent. Entertainment at it's absolute best.

Wow!!!! What a show. We went last night and everyone was fabulous. The energy was amazing all the dances were so professionally done, the songs were songs beautifully sung. I would recommend anyone to see this.



I had seen the film and was not looking overly forward to this show but I tell you I was so impressed and Loved it.

What a fantastic show the tap dancing was amazing and I could have watch them all night. A real extravaganza and I thoroughly recommend it. I have given it 5 stars only because I couldn’t give it 10!

Went last night, an absolutely fantastic show, could’ve sat and watched it all night, such fantastic footwork, would definitely recommend it

Went last for my birthday, absolutely awesome. It is spectacular in every way, will definitely be returning! !!!!!

This show was excellent, it was a little slow to start but wow once it got going it was amazing. All dancers did an amazing job, not a step out of place.

Lulu was in the show we saw and she was brilliant to.



I personally would like to thank the cleaner that found my watch which had very sentimental value to me rather than value for being so honest. The theatre should be very proud of you. A big thank you once again.

The most amazing show. There are no words to describe just how good this is. Exactly what musicals should be like. The talent on that stage is phenomenal. Nothing comes anywhere near this for entertainment. Go see it before it closes. I’ve seen it twice now but will be going again before it leaves the West End.

Superb! Absolutely amazing! What all musicals should be, all singing all dancing. Went for my birthday yesterday, something I will remember for a long time. Thankyou!

Such a lovely performance lots of dancing and music. I really felt like I’m in Broadway Avenue in that time when life was so much simple. Had really enjoy it and players was amazing all of them.

Sooooo I went last night to watch 42nd street ... I went with 2 girl friends and our teenage daughters (3 of which have done tap since they were tiny tots). My girlfriends and I are all of a certain age and took up adult tap since Christmas so we all had an added interest..... The show began and WOW WOW WOW ... I can safely say we were all blown away .... the speed and accuracy of the tappers from the chorus line right through to the principal dancers was breath taking .... the costumes to the scenery didn't detract from the story only added to the show within a show..... I hadn't realised Lulu was playing the character of Ms Brock until I heard a wee lilt in her voice when she 'auditioned' and boy was it an audition ...... Not only did she look stunning but her voice was faultless and only drew me more into the story ... there are not enough accolades that best describe the show except all 7 of us agreed we wanted to go back in and watch it again ..... definitely one of the best if not THE best show I've seen and being a very novice tapper I bow down to the company for keeping their feet going with such energy and vigour... so all I can say is just go and see it.... you'll regret it if you don't....

Second time for me. I enjoyed it as much if not more than the first. Hope to go again before it finishes its run.

I've been wanting to see 42nd Street since it opened and tonight I finally got to see it and it didnt disappoint - it was amazing! 😀 The best choreography and dancing I've ever seen in a show, with a huge cast who were impressively all so in time with each other with not step or tap out of place! The many fabulous, and often very quick, costume changes added to the glitz and glamour, along with the clever sets, the classic songs played by the brilliant orchestra and the talented cast all added up to an absolutely wonderful evening! 😁 With a full standing ovation on a Monday night - its definitley now one of my new favourite shows! 🎭🎼

I wish I could do more than five stars!! The dancers are so talented and make an amazing show. Their timings are impeccable! I love the show, this was my second visit and will not be my last!!!

I absolutely loved the show, it was entertaining, colorful and the singing and tap dancing were amazing, would recommend it to everyone

Great show!

Went last night on a whim because my mum was visiting and I thought she would like it. Didn’t realise just how much I’d love it myself. Every single cast member danced/sang their hearts out from start to finish. Well done to you all. I smiled all the way through xxx

An absolutely incredible exhilarating performance tonight!!

I loved every second of the show & think this is the best in London for years.

The beautiful costumes, the authentic scenery, the acting, singing, dancing - wow!

I loved that their were so many talented performers on stage at once - around 50. From the second the curtain went up you could tell it was going to be great.

Every single dancer gave it their all, their timing & tapping was perfect.

The musicians were also absolutely fantastic & looked like they were having fun too.

I have seen the show twice & will definitely recommend & come again.

Thanks for making my night!!!

Absolutely loved it. Lulu was absent but she was not missed as her understudy was great. Never been a fan of Lulu so she was not the pull to get me to the theatre to see the show.The actress playing Peggy and the actor playing Julian were amazing as were all the cast. Their energy, talent, ability a-maz-ing and their timing was impeccable. Long may the show continue.

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Costume and set changes were too good to be true. How the cast keep up the energy I don’t know. Would recommend to everyone and anyone. Excellent value for money.

Saw this show years ago in London but this was far superior.

A wonderful energetic show. The whole audience came out dancing. Amazing dance pieces worthy of a Buzz Berkeley film. Beautiful costumes too plenty of sequins and the piece that ends with a rainbow of dresses is breathtaking. Can't wait to see it for a third time
