CGiii Comment

A musical is, possibly, the most difficult genre to do on a tight budget.

Surprisingly...Leading Ladies does feature some fine songs.

With hefty pruning, a re-cast of some actors, more dancing  and some more money...this could have been a damn fine film...however...

...the ending is atrocious...end it with a big musical number - for God's sake...it's a musical about dancing...with not enough dancing!!!

The(ir) Blurb...

A zany comedy about two sisters, their gay best friend, and their overzealous stage mom. When one sister gets pregnant and the other plans to waltz out of the closet, the family must hustle to maintain their status quo in the harsh arena of competitive dance.
