But how to make the ever-increasing In spite of and beyond that remarkable evening however, naturalism of the acting and the sound of the human 42nd Street proved quite a hit that year. It won the voice fit with the unreality of someone just breaking Tony Award for Best Musical (Gower Champion won into song and dance was an enormous artistic (and, posthumously) and then ran for eight and a half years— ultimately, technical) problem. A straightforward nearly 3,500 performances—not only David Merrick’s solution was found by merely creating films in which last success but also his longest running show, longer songs could come out of situations in which people than his previous record holder, Hello, Dolly!. might reasonably sing—on stage, for example. On February 1, 1929, history was made with the premiere Oh, what guilty, delicious pleasure we get from spending of MGM’s The Broadway Melody, which has been a few moments with actors—real or imagined—offstage described by musical historian and critic Ethan Mordden and on. How deliriously escapist it is. The machinations, as a “zippy backstager that grins with slang and shenanigans, intrigues, romances, jealousies, travails, putdowns, sorrows for the pitfalls in show biz and triumphs, and magic all have an extraordinary power love, and presents a Broadway where heart and nerve to lift our spirits, make us feel that anything is possible. count more than talent.” 42nd Street brought enjoyment to a struggling America in 1933; the musical adapted from it continued to do so There had been such films before, but not till The in the eighties and again in its 2001 revival (winning yet Broadway Melody could the audience hear the auditions, more Tony Awards). For Goodspeed Musicals it is now the rehearsals, the last run-through plagued by accidents, our turn to invite you all to see “those dancing feet” and the performance, as well as the New York accents be swept up in the sheer exuberance that can only come affected by some of the actors. Straightforward it was from live theatre, especially live musical theatre. Enjoy and highly successful. It returned MGM’s investment your time spent with us! many, many times over and also was awarded the Oscar for Best Picture. It provided the template for any number of films yet to be made, of which 42nd Street (1933) is the quintessential fast-paced “backstager.”

It was not until 1980, though, that David Merrick, himself a quintessential “imperious impresario,” had the wherewithal and clout to turn the film into a Broadway musical. With Gower Champion as the director and choreographer, Merrick poured money into the production and the runaway budget—what was supposed to be $1.8 million eventually reached $3 million (astronomically crippling numbers at that time)—was his own fault. It was his perfectionism that drove him.

In a turn of events that, if put on the stage as part of the plot would be derided as excessive, maudlin, and, more likely, tasteless, Merrick had an opportunity to make the opening night a truly memorable one. That very day, Gower Champion died of an illness that he had been battling all through the rehearsal period. Merrick kept Wanda Richert as Peggy Sawyer and Jerry Orbach as Julian Champion’s death a secret from the cast and press, and Marsh in the original Broadway 42nd Street, 1980
