Feeling dragged down by the insanity going on in our world?

Escape into some old-time song and dance when Studio 58 mounts the comedic, tap-dancing classic 42nd Street at Langara College from Thursday (February 2) to February 26. Based on the Warner Brothers film musical from 1933 (a year when the public also needed a big lift), the beloved backstage musical tells the story of a young dancer named Peggy Sawyer, who gets her chance at stardom when a Broadway lead breaks her ankle. For one night, at least, lose yourself in the sound of clicking shoes, thrill to the energy of young people working and creating together, and, most of all, believe in fairy tales.
