Captivated by her charm, Julian decides to go.

After the first preview, Peggy invites Julian to join her at an impromptu cast party.

The company packs up for Philadelphia (“Getting Out of Town”), and previews begin (“We’re In The Money”). Julian, realizing Pat is a distraction to Dorothy, suggests that Pat leave town. Dorothy walks in, and assumes Pat and Peggy are romantically involved. She is carried to Dorothy's dressing room, where Pat Denning, Dorothy's real boyfriend, is waiting. Peggy, weak and overcome by an exciting day, faints on stage. Abner objects to their kissing and insists they shake hands instead (“You're Getting to be a Habit With Me”). The number evolves into an audition for Peggy, who impresses Julian and lands a job in the chorus.ĭorothy and Billy begin rehearsing their big love scene. They amusingly explain the Broadway facts of life, and dance back to the theatre (“Go into Your Dance”). As they settle in at the Gypsy Tea Kettle, the girls are astonished by Peggy's naïveté. Peggy returns for her purse, and Maggie invites her to lunch with a few of the girls. Abner reminds Julian that Dorothy does not have to try out for anyone, but Julian assures her he’s just trying to determine if the song is in the right key (“Shadow Waltz”). When Dorothy and Abner arrive, Julian suggests that Dorothy audition. Her last hit was ten years earlier, but her sugar daddy, Abner Dillon, is backing the show. Julian tells Bert and Maggie he's worried about some of the cast, especially Dorothy Brock, the leading lady. Billy, the show's romantic lead, takes a liking to her (“Young and Healthy”), but she runs off, bumping into the show’s producer, Julian Marsh. Young hopeful Peggy Sawyer arrives late, having missed the audition. The show's writers, Bert and Maggie, like what they see on stage, but they warn the dancers that at $4.40 per seat, the audience will demand some spectacular dancing.

In New York City in 1933, dance director Andy Lee rehearses the chorus of a new show called Pretty Lady (“Opening”).
