Every theatre production comes with its share of backstage drama. One Hit Wonderland, the Broadway musical comedy depicted in Gary De Leon and Greg Lisi's indie film OPENING NIGHT is no exception.

It's a movie for, and about, theatre people - their quirks, their insecurities, and above all, their passions.
