CriticsCritics: 31
AudienceAudience: 5.0
Years after leaving his old neighborhood behind, a former disco dancer pursues his dream of performing on Broadway. While facing demanding auditions, complicated relationships, and the pressure to prove himself, he must decide how much he is willing to change to reach the stage.
My takeYou may enjoy this if you like ambitious dance dramas, flashy 1980s style, and determined underdogs; Not for you if you want the grit and depth of Saturday Night Fever.
