Preteen Sara Pedri's crush on future a future Broadway star may not have led to romance, but now, thirty years later, the chance to appear in a show he's guest choreographing seems the perfect way to get over her father's recent death and get on with her life. Melissa Fahn lights up the big screen in a beautifully nuanced, utterly engaging star performance as Sara (coincidentally or not so coincidentally the same name as the filmmaker's) and she couldn't have found a better leading man than Sam Zeller, Captain Hook to her Peter Pan in this backstage romantic comedy with heart. The film has a professional look that belies what was surely a shoestring budget. Supporting cast performances are uniformly fine, and I loved the original song score by Joel Alpers. Kudos to writer Sara Pedri and co-directors Sara and Jason Pedri. Musical theater lovers will get a special kick out of Tick Tock Boom Clap, but you don't have to be a show queen to fall under its spell.
