OPENING NIGHT

SCREAM meets BLACK SWAN – on Broadway Set against the high-stakes backdrop of Broadway, the story follows Chloe Foster, a struggling ensemble dancer cast in the "cursed" new musical Born a Star. The production is the last-ditch effort of Gordon Oppenheimer, a ruthless producer desperate to recover from the recent suicide of his former leading man, Julian St. John. As technical rehearsals begin at the Shubert Theatre, the company is stalked by a silhouetted figure in a flowing black cloak and a stark white tragedy mask. One by one, those standing in the way of the production's success are met with gruesome ends. When the show's difficult leading lady vanishes, Gordon seizes the opportunity for publicity, promoting Chloe to the starring role. Driven by a lifelong desperation for stardom, Chloe chooses to ignore the mounting evidence of danger surrounding her "big break." The horror culminates on Opening Night. During the musical’s haunting finale, the masked killer joins Chloe on stage for a climactic pas de deux. In the heat of the performance, Chloe unmasks the figure to reveal her best friend and dancer, Jordan. A former lover of the late Julian St. John, Jordan reveals his bloody crusade is a quest for vengeance against the industry elite who forced Julian into the closet and sparked his downward spiral. The film ends with Born a Star becoming a massive critical triumph. As the curtain falls and the bravos thunder, the true cost of stardom is revealed to be written in blood, proving that on Broadway, the show must go on—no matter the body count.
