Show Synopsis
In 1920's New York, a wide-eyed newcomer, June Kelly, arrives chasing dreams of stardom. With the help of her sharp-witted cousin, Mickie, she finds herself behind the scenes at Empire Pictures, a studio racing to finish a groundbreaking film. But rising star Vivienne Sinclair isn’t eager to share the spotlight. As tensions grow, an after-hours outing takes a turn, and June finds herself caught in the fallout. When Mickie uncovers a secret tied to Vivienne’s lavish coat and the film’s hidden funding, the cast—led by Mickie and music director Max—conspires to flip the script. In one final dazzling scene, Vivienne’s downfall becomes June’s big break.
