Synopsis
The traditional opening night cry of "Break a leg!" really means "Good luck," but in this comedy send-up of every possible theatrical disaster, breaking a leg is the only thing that doesn't happen. Actors answer the phone before it rings. Doors open before anyone knocks. Guns and lights go off when they shouldn't and don't go off when they should. Then the leading actress gets upset because her mother's boyfriend eloped with her boyfriend's mother. "Disaster proof" fun for all!
