Waiting in The Wings

Synopsis:

Two entertainers destined for the big time are mismatched in a casting office from two very different online contests. Tony, a stripper from New York, is cast in an Off-Broadway musical and needs to trade in his tear-away trunks for tap shoes and tights. Anthony, a naive musical theatre enthusiast from Montana, needs to decide if he can strip all the way down just to stay in town. Hilarity ensues as they realize that “to make it” they’re gonna have to learn some new tricks.

Quick Thoughts:

I truly enjoy watching “Waiting In The Wings”, but I have a confession: I’m not a fan of Anthony’s character. He’s about as stereotypical as you can get for a gay musical theatre performer – UGH! Yet equally, within the comedic life-swap storyline that creates some interesting dramatic irony, it’s honestly hard not to love Anthony by the end of this queer musical film. Throw in a romance for both of our leads, some incredibly talented supporting roles, some short but sexy stripper routines, and some fabulous musical numbers – this is quite a film to enjoy! (Unless you’re not a fan of musical theatre, I guess…) If you haven’t heard of “Waiting In The Wings”, then stop waiting and go watch it!
