synopsis
When the kids on a packed bus heading to the country are belting Sondheim tunes, you know Camp Ovation is different.

Featuring a cast of young unknowns that American Idol would envy, Graff deftly mixes sexual (gay, straight, uninterested) and musical modes (show tunes, the Stones). And the original songs are better than anything those Oscar jerks nominated…
