The multi award winning musical 42nd Street makes a triumphant return to Perth with a brand new production at the Limelight Theatre. Directed and choreographed by original Australian production cast member Drew Anthony, this classic “backstage musical” features one of the best musical theatre scores of all time including “42nd Street”, “We’re in the Money” and “Lullaby of Broadway”.
42nd Street tells the Depression-era story of young Peggy Sawyer who unexpectedly joins the cast of Broadway’s newest show Pretty Lady, only to find herself replacing the leading lady who breaks her ankle during rehearsals. Desperate for the show to be a success Pretty Lady’s director utters the iconic line “You’re going out there a youngster, but you’ve gotta come back a star!”, and that’s just what she does.

This all too human comedy about trying to do the right thing is by Oscar nominated author and playwright Ronald Harwood who penned The Dresser and Quartet. Equally Divided begins shortly after the funeral of Edith and Renata’s mother. Edith, impecunious and practical, likes to think she is a good person. She was a dutiful daughter to her demanding, bedridden mother, while rich, selfish, younger sister Renata got all the attention – and all the husbands! Edith looked after “Ma” for ages; Renata barely lifted a painted fingernail to help the old dear. When the will is read, old childhood rivalries re-emerge. But something tells Edith that Renata – glamorous, impossible Renata – will always come out on top. Will Edith find that honesty, like beauty, is only skin deep? Will their eccentric mother’s tempting collection of antiques, littered around her old, converted railway carriage on a beach in southern England, prove a temptation too far?
