Sous les feux de la rampe

I initially was hesitant to watch, knowing that it would probably pull up a part of my younger life that I miss terribly. As the episodes continue to unfold, I am continually surprised at how each episode starts fairly formulaic and then takes me to a different emotional place along with the actors & cast!! The participants are drawn from all eras & geographic locations, but shows us the common thread we all experienced and loved! As a guy now in his mid 60's, I totally empathize with each episode's participants, their thoughts, fears, life choice journeys, etc. They show us that we can, for a moment, go back and have a bit of our past " glory"!! And yes, I cry with joy, each episode for the opportunities that the participants have been given to " go home again " one more time!!!

What a wholesome, touching show. It's amazing to see how similar people's theater experiences were, and it made me so nostalgic!

This has been a really good show surprisingly. I clicked on it by accident and now I can't stop watching it can season 2 come out already. Watching the show took me back to high school and my Play production days .

This show is about much more than recreating a musical from high school. It's a chance for the participants - and the viewers - to look back on themselves (ourselves) as high schoolers in light of who they (we) are today. I didn't expect that at all but that's the enjoyment I get from this show. The fact that the show edits the most dramatic parts into the broadcast are to be expected - i see beyond that and enjoy thinking about reconnecting with the people and things I liked most then in the context of who I am today. That's the real pleasure this show provides.

Any former theatre kid would love this show and geek out over each episode. The nuances of the behind the scenes of theatrical performances were spot on. The emotions are raw. The friendships and relationships are legit. This is a show beautifully crafted and filmed. Flashbacks of original performances and moments are intertwined throughout each episode to mirror the modern encore performance. It's a fantastic throwback and a fresh performance all in one. I will continue watching each episode and I would 100% recommend to my friends. Especially those who I was in theatre with.
