First Trailer for Broadway Comedy 'Opening Night' with Topher Grace

Written by

“This is why I hate musical theater.” A trailer has debuted for an indie comedy about the opening night of a Broadway show titled simply Opening Night. The film stars Topher Grace as a failed Broadway singer who is now working as a stage manager on a big Broadway show that is about to open. Everything that could go wrong backstage seems to have gone wrong and more. This is pretty much the polar opposite of Birdman, which was also about a Broadway show’s opening night and things going wrong. In addition to Grace, the eclectic ensemble cast includes Alona Tal, Taye Diggs, Rob Riggle, Anne Heche, Paul Scheer, J.C. Chasez, Lesli Margherita, Lauren Lapkus and Brian Huskey. This actually doesn’t look seem that bad, there’s some genuine humor found within, especially for those familiar with the stage world. Have fun. ›››
