42nd Street is a 1980 stage musical with a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, lyrics by Al Dubin and Johnny Mercer and music by Harry Warren.
The Broadway production won the Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Choreography and it became a long-running hit. The show was also
produced in London in 1984 (winning the Olivier Award for Best Musical) and its 2001 Broadway revival won the Tony Award for Best Revival.
Based on the 1932 novel by Bradford Ropes and the subsequent 1933 Hollywood film adaptation, the backstage musical show follows the rehearsal process of a Broadway show being presented during the height of the Great Depression.
The musical follows smalltown native Peggy Sawyer as she lands her first chorus job in the ensemble of a glitzy new Broadway show. When the leading lady breaks her ankle before opening night, Sawyer must step in and save the day.
The score is filled with Broadway standards including “You’re Getting to be a Habit with Me,” “Dames,” “We’re in the Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle off to Buffalo,” and the title song, “42nd Street.”
Tickets are available by calling (561) 237-9000 or emailing: tickets@lynn.edu.

Arts Garage, Haitian American Chamber of Commerce to host Jean Caze
By Dale King
Marjorie Waldo, president & CEO of Arts Garage, has announced a collaboration with the Haitian American Chamber of Commerce to bring Jean Caze, a featured soloist in Michael Bublé’s band, to the Arts Garage in Delray Beach on Sunday, Feb. 26, at 7 p.m.
“Music holds an important place in Haitian society and culture and is a part of everyday life in Haiti, so it is meaningful for Arts Garage to celebrate Haitian American music and the people who love it,” said Waldo.
Acknowledging the great value of nonprofit organizations like Arts Garage and the Haitian American Chamber of Commerce working together, the Chamber’s Vice President Djénane StFleur Gourgue added: “Business ventures are like creativity—they require courage and patience.”
Hailed by The New York Times for his “strong, and unexpectedly diverse” performance that evoked Miles Davis, Caze is known for his original blend of Haitian American music, with rhythms inspired by Rara, Konpa, Racine and American backbeats.
The lyrics tell the tales of heroic freedom fighters that shaped the fate of millions, while the show itself engages the audience by inviting them to sing, move, and even dance, as they discover the richness of Haitian culture.
Jean Caze’s latest CD, Amedé, features his blend of Haitian American musical styles and features the Queen of Haitian song, Emeline Michel, among other talented artists, many of which will be accompanying him at Arts Garage including:
David Chiverton a member of the Smoogies who has toured with Sheila E., Jon Secada and Lauryn Hill.
Dion Keith Kerr, also a member of the Smoogies and a South Florida staple of the music scene, who will add his talent by performing on electric bass.
Super producer and multi-instrumentalist Dwayne Bennet will make his debut with Jean’s group on keys.
Haitian American saxophone sensation and jazz ambassador for the U.S. Department of State, Claudens Louis, will fill-out the performance
group.
Tickets are $35-$40 per person and are available for purchase by calling the Arts Garage at 561-450-6357 or by going online to www.ArtsGarage.org.
Located at 94 NE 2nd Ave. in Delray Beach’s popular Pineapple Grove, Arts Garage is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization sponsored in part by the Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs, the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency and the City of Delray Beach.
