When I did this in high school. (I played Dorothy Brock) they let all the dancers paint their tap shoes. One girl painted herself orange to match her costume and put little paper butterflies all over them. They were beautiful

I remember when the curtain went up and I saw this live. What a great feeling for an old tap dancer..

I went to see 42nd street twice, at the little theatre and then I went to see it at the Curve and I remember loving it💚

I am 14 years old and theater recently did 42nd street. We had 3 shows. 1 on Friday and 2 on Saturday. I was a swing and I had to play Mac because the original Mac couldn’t perform because she got sick. I was in all the tap numbers and I had a lot of costume changes
