Olympe is constantly going from audition to audition, without ever landing any roles: paralyzed by stage fright, she loses her composure every time she steps onto the stage. When Joséphine meets her, she is reeling from yet another failure. However, she had wanted the role in “Paris-Broadway” so much, the new musical by Fred Marcus. She had dreamed of sharing the stage with Margot Montfort. Joséphine arranges for her to have another chance. She convinces Fred Marcus to come and listen to her sing without her knowledge. He immediately falls under the spell of the young woman. He decides to hire her.
