Is it for you?

The mood: Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 47 min.
What might put you off: Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.

At New York's High School of Performing Arts, students from all walks of life get the chance to hone their skills as singers, actors, dancers, and more. Over four years, these young men and women will see if they truly have the dedication and talent to achieve success, while still juggling regular schoolwork, feelings of self-doubt, and budding romances.
