With the release of the latest Rocky film, Street thought that it was only appropriate that we begin the semester by taking a look at Philadelphia through the eyes of one of its all-time greatest heroes: Rocky Balboa.

42nd Street is the kind of lavish musical extravaganza that modern musical love to mock. The costumes are elaborate - actresses parade onstage in gold sequins and pink chiffon - the songs are delightfully self-indulgent and the narrative is effortlessly wrapped up in a tight, neat bundle. Yet while shows in the vein of The Producers and Spamalot would certainly poke fun at the theatrical conventions currently on display at the Walnut Street Theatre, it is difficult not to be seduced by what amounts to a blissful presentation of a bygone era. First seen as a 1933 Warner Brothers film, 42nd Street has been reincarnated for the theater on numerous occasions throughout its 70-year history, including a Tony Award-winning run on Broadway in 1980 and an enormously successful revival in 2001. Originally choreographed by Busby Berkeley and with lyrics like, "I'll go home and get my panties / You'll go home and get your scanties / And away we'll go / Off we're gonna shuffle / Shuffle off to Buffalo," 42nd Street began its existence as a heartwarming respite from the Great Depression.

Seeking to appeal to a wide audience, Finian's Rainbow cloaks its complex themes of racism, political corruption and economic inequality beneath a whimsical, almost childlike, surface.
