CGiii Comment
Think: a poofy, non-gritty, cheap, amateurish version of Fame.
Think: High School Musical with poofy boys and lesser production values.
It's a sloppy, almost likeable, mess.
Ultimately, it's a load of bollocks...but, very, very sweet. And, the music isn't really that bad, honest.
For teenagers in leg-warmers only.

The(ir) Blurb...
Misfits in their lives back home, a group of young people live it up at musical-theater camp. While the sports counselor is completely ignored, the kids' spend all their time in rehearsal for a grueling schedule that involves a new show every two weeks. Several personal stories come to the fore. Is talented golden-boy Vlad honest in his feelings about Ellen? Can cross-dressing Michael have a relationship with his parents? Will one-hit-wonder musical playwrite and now camp counselor Bert Hanley remain mired in drink and cynicism? Fireworks are in store when Fritzi, who slavishly serves glamour girl Jill, is finally told to get a life, and the parents of Jenna, whose jaw has been wired shut in a compromise to avoid being sent to "fat camp", learn a valuable lesson at the summer's big end-of-season benefit.
