General Notes | As a time capsule, shows NYC when it was at its worst -- in terms of dirt, crime and visual nastiness. |
Follows a group of youngsters who enter the School of Performing Arts in NYC, from audition to Freshman year to graduation. Shows the process, the travails, the uncertainties, the triumphs, and some of the nasty underbelly of the performing arts. A musical that soars in its main musical scenes.
Go after your heart's desire.
Life is hard, but you can succeed, and it is worth it and exhilarating.
