Waiting In The Wings: The Musical has a genuinely impressive cast for a low-budget movie, with the likes of Oscar winner Shirley Jones, Sally Struthers, David Pevsner, Rebekah Kochan, Christopher Atkins, and Lee Meriwether. It also did extremely well at film festivals, winning numerous awards at both gay and indie fests, from Best Feature Film at QFlix Philadelphia to Best Musical at the Manhattan Film Festival.
The film is heading to DVD/VoD in the US on May 2nd, so now is a good time to check out the trailer for a movie that looks like it’s a lot of fun.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Waiting In The Wings: The Musical is a feature film where 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. Shirley Jones (Academy Award Winner), Sally Struthers (Emmy Award Winner), Christopher Atkins, and Lee Meriwether round out this heartwarming homage to Broadway with some delightful cameos.’
