In this fast-paced, character-driven sequel to Jack & Louisa: Act 1, the titular friends are excited for their middle school's production of Guys and Dolls, but the new director, threatened by Jack's Broadway credits, bullies him through rehearsals. Lou stands up for him just in time for opening night. Though unrealistic, the story boasts many musical theater references that will delight Broadway fans.
