FRYEBURG — Fryeburg Academy presents the 2025 all-school musical “42nd Street”! One of show business’s most classic and beloved tales, “42nd Street: tells the story of Peggy Sawyer, a talented young performer with stars in her eyes who gets her big break on Broadway.
Peggy arrives in New York City from her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, armed with her tap shoes and big dreams. Peggy’s talent catches the eye of legendary Broadway director Julian Marsh, who gives her a spot in the chorus of Pretty Lady, his newest show. Pretty Lady stars Dorothy Brock, the classic Broadway diva, who takes an instant dislike to the new girl in the cast. When Dorothy is injured during the show’s previews, Pretty Lady looks like it will have to close, unless a new girl talented enough to lead the show can be found — someone like Peggy Sawyer! Peggy’s rise from showgirl to star is the stuff of show business dreams. “42nd Street” is full of crowd-pleasing tap dances, popular musical theatre standards, and show-stopping ensemble production numbers.
“42nd Street” will be showing Nov. 13- 16. All showtimes are at 7 p.m. except for the 16th which will be a matinee showing at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students.
