Сюзен профессиональная певица, живущая со старым эксцентричным папашей-композитором, Шейла — симпатичная блондинка с рабочей окраины, делящая постель с пожилым миллионером, а Сандра — жена безработного скрипача, который не может вырваться из душевного кризиса. С этого дня девушкам надо забыть обо всем, что их тревожит, ведь теперь они «Девушки Зигфилда» — лучшие модели Бродвея. У каждой из них появился шанс изменить свою жизнь и стать суперзвездой грандиозного музыкального представления, но у любого шоу есть финал и для каждой из участниц он не будет одинаков…
