However she can't win his attention... until she helps a good fairy on the street who, unbeknownst to Kelly, enchants a pair of Kelly's shoes so that she turns into a supermodel whenever she wears them.

A group of dancers congregate on the stage of a Broadway theatre to audition for a new musical production directed by Zach.

Noises Off...
Hired to helm an Americanized take on a British play, director Lloyd Fellowes does his best to control an eccentric group of stage actors. With a star actress quickly passing her prime, a male lead with no confidence, and a bit actor that's rarely sober, chaos ensues in the lead up to a Broadway premiere.
The Dresser
In a touring Shakespearean theater group, a backstage hand - the dresser, is devoted to the brilliant but tyrannical head of the company. He struggles to support the deteriorating star as the company struggles to carry on during the London blitz. The pathos of his backstage efforts rival the pathos in the story of Lear and the Fool that is being presented on-stage, as the situation comes to a crisis.
