“They don’t make them like that anymore.”

It’s the get-off-my-lawn lament ofthe nostalgic, but in the case ofBroadway musicals and the standard-bearer 42nd Street, there’sa kernel of truth to the complaint.With classic songs (“We’re in theMoney,” “Lullaby of Broadway,”“Shuffle Off to Buffalo”), a timelesstale of Broadway itself and dancing,dancing, dancing to beat the band,this is the kind of musical that people think of when they think of a night out at the theater.

Now in Chicago for a brief stopover,this new production of the legendarymusical will send audiences streaming into the Loop with a song in their heart and a spring intheir step. 42nd Street is playing at the Cadillac Palace Theatre, 151 W. Randolph. Tickets ($16-$77) are available at 312.977.1700.
