Synopsis

Think Fame in a summer camp for teenage Broadway hopefuls and that's actor/writer Todd Graff's sweet, feel-good directorial debut in a nutshell. Despite a variable tone that lurches awkwardly from bitchy put-down to serious drama, this sparkling celebration of musical theatre lives up to its title. Fame-hungry types gather at Camp Ovation to rehearse four shows every two months for the locals. Talented (and straight) new student Daniel Letterle becomes everyone's lust object as he engineers a benefit finale written by Broadway has-been-turned-counsellor Don Dixon. Featured routines include numbers from Dreamgirls, Follies, Company (composer Stephen Sondheim cameos, too) and Promises, Promises - all showstoppers in their own right. But Graff handles complex issues of teen sexuality in totally un-clichéd ways.
