I saw Leading Ladies during its opening weekend in Champaign/Urbana, Illinois- the city where it was filmed. The theater was packed, old and young, women and men, straight and gay and they all loved it.
The dancing was breathtaking at times and just plain fun. Where else could you see a ballet, break dancing, and a mambo all in one number and in a grocery store to boot? The acting was a bit uneven at times, but when it all came together, the scenes were great.
I would love to see what the directors could have done with a real budget. It's amazing they were able create a full blown musical with only $200,000.
