The original film’s plot revolved around Jenny Glenn (Parker), who comes to Chicago to enter a dance competition despite her father’s ban. In town, she meets Lynn Stone (Hunt), who amicably helps Jenny achieve her dream of winning the pageant.
It’s still unclear who will star in the remake. But according to THR, it will “celebrate female friendship, humor and kindness, and dance prowess.”
