1985118 min6.2 / 10

A vibrant, energetic backstage musical celebrating the dreams and vulnerabilities of Broadway dancers, anchored by ensemble camaraderie and the tension between professional ambition and personal history.

A group of dancers congregate on the stage of a Broadway theatre to audition for a new musical production directed by Zach. After the initial eliminations, seventeen hopefuls remain, among them Cassie, who once had a tempestuous romantic relationship with Zach. She is desperate enough for work to humble herself and audition for him; whether he's willing to let professionalism overcome his personal feelings about their past remains to be seen.
