Opening Night

Opening Night (formerly One Shot) is an American musical comedy film directed by Isaac Rentz and written by Gerry De Leon and Greg Lisi. The film takes place in real time, backstage on the opening night of a Broadway musical. The film centers on a failed Broadway actor (Topher Grace) turned production manager who must save the show on opening night by wrangling together his eccentric cast and crew. The film had its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 3, 2016. It was later given a limited theatrical release on June 2, 2017. Plot Nick is a former Broadway actor who now works as a production manager for the stage musical "One Hit Wonderland", a musical journey through one-hit wonders of the past. His ex-girlfriend Chloe happens to be an understudy, making run-ins backstage between them awkward. As part of the show’s opening night on Broadway, Nick must deal with a seemingly never-ending list of dilemmas and crises, including helping his anxious assistant Alex, consoling a dancer who has a meltdown over a deceased pet, and keeping watch on Brooke, a quirky, unstable former Broadway star. In addition, an argument breaks out between dancers Brandy and Malcolm over men, just minutes before the opening curtain. Nick has to get the show headliner JC Chasez, a former member of boy band NSYNC who is now a self-absorbed womanizer, to focus by ousting chorus girls from his dressing room.
