    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The film was shot all in Mexico, despite being set on Broadway in New York. An airplane hanger in the middle of Mexico City was used to build the entire film's stage from scratch.
    • Goofs
      At about 1h 30 mins when Nick is singing on stage, his voice switches to microphone in sync with the music, although he doesn't take the mic from CJ for another 10 seconds. Then when he steps off the stage singing and walking towards Chloe, his voice continues to come from the speakers even though he's wearing no sound equipment.
    • Quotes

      Nick: [looking bored] Look it's five minutes to show; why do we always have to cut this so close?

      JC: [putting his arm around Nick's shoulder] Come here, okay? The secret to success... is *relaxation*.

      Nick: I'm relaxed.

      JC: No. You know there was another guy in my band who couldn't relax either? To be honest with you, he was just as good a singer as me and the other guy.

      Nick: [still looking bored] Justin... Timberlake?

      JC: Whoever. Anyway, he should have been front and center more than he was, but he was *in* the closet, dealing with some personal issues. I'm not gonna say who it was.

      Nick: [matter-of-factly] It was Lance Bass.

      JC: So... You know what I'm talking about?

      Nick: I don't think I do.

    6/10
    Romcom with a touch of karaoke
    The title gives it all away, opening night of a musical show in Broadway. This film is like a short trip down memory lane with all the songs and the familiar players, the star of the show, the big egos , the crazy, frantic scenarios backstage before the curtain rises and what happens in the dressing rooms after the curtain falls. The singing is not a la Rock of Ages, ditzy and over the top, but here it's like the characters are practicing in front of a karaoke machine before going onstage to audition for Simon Cowell. Please lower your expectation bar in order to enjoy the cheesiness and candyness of this film.
