Christopher Guest co-writes, directs and stars in this American comedy. Theatre director Corky St. Clair (Guest), fresh from his dazzling production of 'Backdraft - The Musical', is hired to orchestrate the 150th birthday celebrations of the small town of Blaine, Missouri. Unfortunately, his potential cast, which includes married couple Ron and Sheila Albertson (Fred Willard and Catherine O'Hara), local dentist Dr Allan Pearl (Eugene Levy), mechanic Johnny Savage (Matt Keeslar) and Dairy Queen employee Libby Mae (Parker Posey), combine star-struck ambition with pint-sized talent. However, in the grand Broadway tradition, the show must go on, no matter what cost to the dignity of those involved.
