The Plot: Down-on-their-luck Broadway stars shake up a small Indiana town as they rally behind a teen who wants to go to the prom with her girlfriend.

I was looking forward to this film with my all family.

This film was really good. 

Pros: Everyone in the movie did a good job of being this project to the screen, this film shown no fear of going too over the top to make this film a success, afterward it will leave smiling  a lot & they do a amazing job of representing the LGBTQ community.

Cons: The film does mead to re-do some of the plotlines in the film, some of the musical songs were a bit too overwhelming to handle & it went on for little too long.
