Getting Off on Broadway

About This Movie

So, 'Getting Off on Broadway' is this quirky little comedy from 1989 that takes a playful jab at Broadway's glitzy facade. You’ve got a bunch of porn performers trying to tackle 'West Side Story,' which sets the stage for some genuinely oddball interpretations of the characters. The atmosphere is a mix of raunchy humor and theatricality that kind of works in its own weird way. The pacing meanders a bit, but it adds to the laid-back feel – like a behind-the-scenes look at a production that’s both chaotic and strangely charming. The performances are, well, let's say not what you'd typically expect from a Broadway show. What really stands out is how it flips the script on classic musical tropes with a distinctly adult twist.

This film is something of a rarity and has developed a niche following over the years among collectors who appreciate its offbeat charm and subversive take on musical theater. It hasn't seen a lot of re-releases, making original copies a bit sought after, particularly those on VHS. The scarcity of physical formats only adds to its intrigue, often sparking conversations among genre enthusiasts about the intersection of adult film and mainstream narratives.
