Gretna Theatre will offer a drive-in movie on Friday, July 10, with a showing of the filmed live performance of “42nd Street” from London’s West End. The filmed performance depicts the recent revival directed by the musical’s late co-writer Mark Bramble. “42nd Street” first opened at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in 2017, featuring a cast of more than 50 - the largest in West End history. With a score that includes such tunes as “We’re in the Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway” and “Shuffle Off to Buffalo,” “42nd Street” tells the story of famed theater director Julian Marsh as he tries to mount a musical extravaganza at the height of the Great Depression. Soldiers Field, located off Timber Road in Mount Gretna, will be transformed into a drive-in movie theater with a large movie screen. Attendees will be able to tune their FM radio to the film’s audio. Gates will open at 8 p.m. and the film will begin at dusk. There will be an admission fee per carload, and all tickets must be purchased in advance at www.gretnatheatre.org.
