"A wonderful mix of comedy with lots of heart and plenty of Broadway flair, this musical follows New York actor Michael Dorsey. A talented perfectionist, he finds that no one wants to work with him anymore. Desperate for a gig, Dorsey reinvents himself as an actress and gets a long-term contract in a soap opera. His newfound career hits some rough waters when he falls for his castmate Julie, who believes he's a woman."
