Explosive. Electric. Unforgettable.
This summer, Bay Street Theater brings the high-energy Cagney The Musical to the stage — a thrilling celebration of the life, music, and career of Hollywood legend James Cagney. Produced in association with Riki Kane Larimer, this exciting production brings Cagney’s remarkable story to life through music, movement, and unforgettable theatrical energy.
Best remembered for iconic film roles in classics like Yankee Doodle Dandy, James Cagney was far more than a movie star. He began as a song-and-dance man in vaudeville, and that electrifying spirit carried him all the way to Broadway and Hollywood. Cagney The Musical captures that drive, talent, and charisma in a show packed with music, tap dancing, and larger-than-life storytelling.
Through dynamic choreography and unforgettable songs, the musical tells the story of Cagney’s rise from the tough streets of New York to becoming one of the most celebrated performers of the 20th century. The show blends original music with beloved songs associated with the era, bringing audiences into the golden age of American entertainment.
Directed by Bay Street Theater Associate Artistic Director Will Pomerantz, Cagney The Musical stars Robert Creighton as James Cagney, with Grammy Award-winning music legend Melissa Manchester as Ma Cagney. Together with an incredible cast, this production celebrates the determination, heart, and artistic brilliance that made James Cagney a legend.
Whether you love classic Hollywood, Broadway musicals, or powerful stories about performers who changed the industry, Cagney The Musical delivers an unforgettable night of live theater.
