PHOTOS FROM THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED 2017 MAINSTAGE PRODUCTION, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME

Ready to be dazzled? The 1980 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical, 42nd Street is a celebration of Broadway and Times Square that provides a behind-the-scenes peek at the people who make the magic of musical theater. Who better than our Mainstage creative team to put on this extravaganza?

Set in the early 1930s, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for a new Broadway musical. Along with its classic American Dream story, the Tony Award-winning song and dance fable features some of the greatest show tunes ever written, including “We’re In The Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off To Buffalo,” and of course, “42nd Street.”

Two and a half hours • For ages 8 and upTickets: $14 - $17

“Summer Stage performs miracles with ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame.’”– Philadelphia Inquirer

“Between the choir and the new sound system, the musical numbers were powerful and shook me to the core.’”

– PhillyReview.com

“...the lavish sets, gorgeous musical numbers and lighting design that were a feast for the eyes. “Hunchback” is a grand experience that should be taken advantage of during its theatrical run at the PAC.”

– Delco Daily Times

“From the extremely detailed set design to the costumes, music, and cast, this show really felt like a show you would see on Broadway.”
