Singers and dancers from various parts of the country and with various backgrounds head to Broadway to audition for a spot in a show. Focusing on four dancers ranging from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, the film takes them through the whole process of trying out. While the acting isn't all that great, the dancing and music is top notch. Only one actor is recognizable; Lonnie Price,(Niel Kellerman from "Dirty Dancing") plays the role of an NYU student. "Headin For Broadway" also fairly illustrates the audition process, perhaps better than "A Chorus Line". While it is very rare film to find, out of print on VHS and not available on DVD, it is an enjoyable and entertaining movie. If you like good musicals and dance numbers, this is for you.
I can't believe that as of this writing, this film rates 8 out of 10. This is the worst film about dancing ever made. It's so bad, it's good. The opening dance number between Paul Carafotes (Ralph Morelli) and Gary Glendell is as if it was written out of an SNL sketch on dance movies. This movie is so badly written, i could only be compounded by the stunningly bad choreography of Gene Foote, who also plays Jay Weston. Rent it for laughs at your next video screening.
think this movie is much better than the credit it has been given. I saw it on HBO years ago and cannot find it on video or cable since, and have looked for a long time indeed. Rex Smith is an excellent actor with a great voice, the musical numbers are way above average, and the story, while told many times over in musicals about stars heading for the stage, is very well done. The excitement builds and the climax is a very good heart warming finale.
Many people pick on this film, but I didn't find this film to be that bad. Barely released film(Seattle is one of the city to get this film). Rex Smith, Paul Carafortes, Terri Treas play struggling broadway dancer/singer who goes through hard times trying to make it in a musical cattle call. Production problem shows in this film as we see many flashback in dream sequence, and choppy editing. Realistic acting as if this was sort of filmed in a documentary style. Rex Smith sings two catchy songs "woman" and "Headin' for Broadway". It a shame Brooks never made another film after this. 20th Century Fox release threw this film away. This film could've really made the three stars into major stars. Now we see Rex advertise infomercial, Paul missing, and Terri direct Roger Corman films. Recommended.
This film is a less pretense than chorus line,but not as entertaining as Fame. It sets up and unfolds in sort of a predictable fashion as it presents a story of four wannabees trying out for Broadway-A country girl who is always the star of the local plays,a Los Angeles hot shot, a brooklyn street dancer and a poor girl from harlem.One makes it,one takes a secondary role,one doesn't make it but has something to fall back on,and one dosen't make it and loses something else in the process.
This film has its moments but never really reaches a climax. Still with so many people addicted to American Idol and Dancin with the stars,this film deserves at least another look

- QuizDue to production delays and other problems, the sound engineers were left waiting around with nothing to do. In a bid to remain active, they accepted director William Lustig's offer to mix his then-current project Maniac - explaining why such a notorious low-budget film received a full Dolby Stereo sound-mix at a time when they were the domain of studio films.
