The four musicals, three of which were nominated for Best Musical in the Tony Awards that season, were:
Wicked
Taboo
Caroline, or Change
Avenue Q
The film climaxes with the 2004 Tony Awards ceremony. In addition to coverage of the musicals themselves, the movie includes interviews with New York theatre critics, and footage of several theatre critics discussing in a restaurant the various musicals and their predictions for the Tony Award winners.
