The Story: The best-laid plans go awry when the cast and crew of a Broadway-bound play resort to manipulation, diva-like behavior, and chaotic abandon to get what they want. A fledgling playwright (Jerry) and his fiancée (Arlene) are a couple of Buffalo, NY greenhorns suddenly swept up in the whirlwind of New York’s theater scene when Jerry’s play is optioned by an old-school producer for a Broadway run. But Jerry loses control of his dream as the mild-mannered director and tough-as-nails stage manager try desperately to rein in the seasoned, ego-filled television celebrities cast as the leads. Jerry and Arlene, in their innocence, fail dismally to recognize and avoid the pressures, pitfalls, and subterfuge that is the world of Broadway.
