Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
godspellgroupie This film is a less pretense than chorus line,but not as entertaining as Fame. It sets up and unfolds in sort of a predictable fashion as it presents a story of four wannabees trying out for Broadway-A country girl who is always the star of the local plays,a Los Angeles hot shot, a brooklyn street dancer and a poor girl from harlem.One makes it,one takes a secondary role,one doesn't make it but has something to fall back on,and one dosen't make it and loses something else in the process.This film has its moments but never really reaches a climax. Still with so many people addicted to American Idol and Dancin with the stars,this film deserves at least another look
Magman1 Singers and dancers from various parts of the country and with various backgrounds head to Broadway to audition for a spot in a show. Focusing on four dancers ranging from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, the film takes them through the whole process of trying out. While the acting isn't all that great, the dancing and music is top notch. Only one actor is recognizable; Lonnie Price,(Niel Kellerman from "Dirty Dancing") plays the role of an NYU student. "Headin For Broadway" also fairly illustrates the audition process, perhaps better than "A Chorus Line". While it is very rare film to find, out of print on VHS and not available on DVD, it is an enjoyable and entertaining movie. If you like good musicals and dance numbers, this is for you.
waloore This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen about dancing, singing, performing, great movie for anyone. That has a dream, or for the pure enjoyment. I could watch this movie over and over again
jdevlaminck Help. I've been trying to find this movie since the early 80's. I saw it on HBO and really liked it. Didn't own a VCR at the time and never taped it. Now I've been on this search forever. I actually look through the entire TV guide every sunday morning. I haven't found it on any video sites, this is the only place I've ever found mention of it. Where are people seeing it?
