The work is a recording of a stage musical. At the centre of the account is Peggy Sawyer. Peggy is a young and talented stage performer. Her eyes are set high. She gets her big break on Broadway. The account brings back the Broadway of the thirties. On stage there is a company of more than fifty. Tap dancing is the backbone of the show. The recording was made in London at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The filming was done in November 2018 with eight cameras. What goes on behind the curtain is part of the account too. Bonnie Langford, Tom Lister and Clare Halse take the leads, with Philip Bertioli also in the cast, in Ross MacGibbon’s British production of 2019.
