Connie and Carla

“When you follow your dream, there's no telling what you'll become.”

Connie (Nia Vardalos) and Carla (Toni Collette) are Chicago dinner-theater singers who see a mafia hit by accident and leave town for Los Angeles. To stay hidden, they take work on the dinner theater circuit there, performing as drag queens. Michael Lembeck stages the numbers in sequins and wigs, and the two women, with only each other to rely on, keep up the act while Connie falls for Jeff (David Duchovny).
