Overrated Mediocre production.

Having been drawn by the high rating, I was sadly disappointed. It's a pleasant enough performance but could have been so much better. The dance numbers are fantastic, however the acting ability of the cast is lacking.

If you want to see what a GREAT Stage Musical should be like, then look no further than the 1999 London Stage performance of Oklahoma!, starring Hugh Jackman and Maureen Lipman.

Sadly, this version of 42nd Street isn't in the same ballpark. The Original 1933 B&W movie still reigns supreme.

Sawyer goes to Philadelphia Broad Street Station to take a train to Allentown, PA. Broad Street Station was a Pennsylvania Railroad terminal and the Pennsy did not go to Allentown. To get to Allentown, Sawyer would have had to go to the Reading Terminal.
