42nd Street - the complete musical

Complete version of 42nd Street musical with high quality audio of 20-piece orchestra and 3-camera edit.

Performed by the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School Of The Arts

A big bold musical set in 1933. A story of hard work, talent, love and being in the right place at the right time. A celebration of Broadway and its people. A Ruth Asawa San Francisco School Of The Arts interdisciplinary production presented on the Main Stage of SOTA's Dan Kryston Theater by the Technical Theatre Department. Music numbers include: You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me, Dames, We're In The Money, Lulaby Of Broadway, Shuffle Off To Buffalo and 42nd Street.

Over 35 students are in the cast, 20 students are in the orchestra and 40 students are on the technical theatre production team. It's an epic endeavor that we know you'll enjoy.

Director - Keith Carames (teaching at SOTA since 2001). In 2011 Keith became Co-Director of the Technical Theatre Department, distinguishing himself as the director of two outstanding schoolwide musicals: Ragtime and last spring's sold-out production of The Producers. In 2011, Keith received the SFUSD Dream Catcher Award for Interdisciplinary Art, and in 2012 was honored to be among ten SFUSD teachers to receive the Mayor's Teacher of the Month award.

Technical Director - Paul Kwapy. Paul has been involved in theatre in one form or another for over 38 years. As an Artist-in-Residence in 2011, he led students in the design and construction of sets for three musicals, including last spring's Producers. He currently serves as Co-Chair of the Technical Theater Department.

Sean Forte - Music Director. Sean is a recent Magna Cum Laude graduate from the University of the Pacific's Conservatory of Music, studying piano performance, French literature, and chamber music. Presently, he works as an artist-in-residence for the Music Theater Department and served as musical director for I Remember Mama. He worked with the San Francisco Arts Education Project - Everything Goes as an artist-in-residence at Paul Revere Elementary teaching choir and music.

Erin Hewitt - Choreographer. Erin studied at the University of San Francisco, graduating with a BA in performing arts and social justice with a dance emphasis. A longtime musical theater lover, she is a choreographer, performer and collaborator, and has appeared onstage from a young age. During her time at USF, Ms. Hewitt staged such musicals as Songs for a New World and Reefer Madness and worked with incarcerated men in the Resolve to Stop The Violence Program, before joining the SFArtsEd family as an instructor for the youth summer camp Broadway Bound and co-choreographer for the SFArtsED Players. She also greatly enjoys her in-school musical theater residencies throughout the year. With training in classical Broadway styles of dance, including tap and jazz, and interests in contemporary styles, Ms. Hewitt's variety of interests are all a part of her diverse approach to teaching.

Your Dorothy is hilarious and perfect. She is a comic genius with this role. Excellent job!

I recently came across your production. I have to say that it was quite refreshing to see a school take on such a challenge as this production, when every other school seems to be performing one of those Disney cookie cutter productions. I have been involved in musical theater since 1975, and always enjoy watching various companies & their accomplishments. With Broadway reviving these great old shows, it's like bringing new life to some of the greatest songs written for stage & screen.
The orchestra was wonderful, voices were amazing & the dancing was very professional. I tip my hat to all that put so much heart & life back into one of Broadways legendary classics. Well done, and

I remember a school play did this back in 2018. They did it wonderfully

My college did this show in 2016. My program is all about the tech for live entertainment so naturally I was focused on the tech of this performance. This is really good, this is extremely impressive for a high school. I wish I could have gone here.

Congratulations on an excellent performance! A friend of mine was in the London stage version (1984) so I saw it many times. Watching this brought back lots of memories. Well done!!

When we did this show my senior year, the costumes for the ballgowns in Dames were bought online from a Chinese company, and came in 3x the size the measurements said. I’ll never forget all of the dance ensemble trying them on and cracking up during rehearsals because they had to add in that costumes weren’t finished and make it look ridiculous as each entrance had to include them fixing their dresses and making faces

[robertoroberto]

I'm trying out for this show in November and this really helped me learn the tap steps! Thanks.

[fswsshows]

I'm working with a theatre on a production of 42nd as the assistant lighting designer, though I have a lot of things I'd change about this show, I'm very thankful that it's here. Thanks original poster
