“Life’s a party
Why don’t you come to the steel pier?”

Atlantic City, 1930s. On the famous Steel Pier, the music never stops and neither do the dancers, grinding through a gruelling marathon with their eyes on the prize. But for one woman, this contest means more than money – it’s her chance to finally escape the life she has been trapped in for far too long. The only rule? Keep dancing.

Featuring music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb – the renowned duo behind Chicago and CabaretSteel Pier is a Tony-nominated, dazzling tale of romance and a celebration of hope, performed by our Musical Theatre cohort.
