The Rise and Fall of a Theater Geek Seth Rudetsky

Marc Notes: Broadway, New York. The shows, the neon lights - the cute chorus boys! It's where Justin has always wanted to be, and now, with a winter internship for a famous actor, he finally has his chance to shine. If only he could ditch his kind, virtuous, upright, and - dare he say it? - uptight boyfriend, Spencer. But once the internship begins, Justin has more to worry about than a cramped single-guy-in-the-city style. Instead of having his moment in the spotlight, he's a not-so-glorified errand boy. Plus, Spencer is hanging out with a celebra-hottie, Justin's best friend Becky isn't speaking to him, and his famous actor boss seems headed for flopdom.
