Overview
See production notesAfter the events of the first film, Buster Moon is thriving with his newly rebuilt theater. Johnny, Rosita, Gunter, Meena, and Miss Crawly work as his cast and crew, while Ash performs as a soloist at a rock club. Buster's show fails to impress Crystal Entertainment's talent scout Suki Lane from Redshore City. Encouraged by Nana Noodleman, Buster gathers his crew, and they travel to the city to make an impression. After being denied entry into Crystal Entertainment, they sneak in for an audition with entertainment mogul Jimmy Crystal. As Jimmy is uninterested in Buster's original pitch, Gunter suggests a space-themed sci-fi musical that features songs from Clay Calloway, a legendary rock star who disappeared after his wife Ruby died 15 years ago. Intrigued, and assuming that Clay will be part of the show, Jimmy greenlights it and lets Buster and his friends stay at his hotel during production. Miss Crawly finds where Clay lives and goes to visit him, but he scares her away with a paintball gun. During rehearsal, Rosita reveals to have a fear of heights after learning she needs to make a high jump, prompting Jimmy to insist Buster have his daughter Porsha play her part instead. Buster reluctantly writes Rosita a minor role. Top choreographer Klaus Kickenklober is hired to teach Johnny to dance, but is unnecessarily harsh, causing Johnny to fall behind. Johnny later comes across street dancer Nooshy, who takes over as his teacher. Meena is cast in a romantic scene with a well-intentioned but heavily egocentric actor named Darius, but is unable to act the part convincingly, having never been in love before. She later meets and falls in love with an ice cream vendor named Alfonso. Jimmy eventually finds out that Buster never contacted Clay about the show and threatens to hurt Buster if he does not deliver. Ash and Buster visit Clay to convince him to join the show. He refuses at first, finding it too emotionally sad to perform after Ruby's death, but Ash changes his mind. Back at the theater, Buster offers Porsha to switch roles with Rosita, as Porsha's acting skills are poor. Porsha misunderstands this as Buster firing her and leaves. After news of the "firing" is broadcast, Jimmy scolds Porsha, sobbing, and nearly drops Buster off the hotel's roof for making him look bad before locking him in his closet. Suki frees Buster and warns him to leave Redshore City before Jimmy sends his bodyguards to find him. Ash arrives at the hotel room with the crew and Clay, who advises Buster not to run and hide as he did. After overhearing Jimmy insulting him and his crew on television, Buster decides to put on the show behind Jimmy's back. Porsha rejoins the show, Johnny calls his father and his gang to keep Jimmy, Jerry, and his bodyguards at bay, and Rosita arranges for her husband Norman and their children to distract hotel security. During the show, a jealous Klaus takes the place of Johnny's performance partner to undermine his number, but Johnny defeats Klaus with encouragement from Nooshy and the other dancers, finally earning Klaus' respect. Porsha performs a high-energy song and dance number in the minor role originally given to Rosita, standing up to Jimmy. Meena visualizes Darius as Alfonso and successfully performs a romantic duet with him. In a last attempt to stop the show, Jimmy, at his breaking point, drops Buster off from a high catwalk, which causes Rosita to overcome her fear of heights to save Buster from Jimmy. When it's time for Clay to take the stage for the finale, he says he is not ready yet. Ash leads the audience in a rendition of one of Clay's songs, giving him the courage to perform. After the curtain call, impressed by how wrong he was over the show’s performance, Jimmy tries to take the credit for the successful show, but is instead arrested for his crimes by the police for lying and attempting to kill Buster. Just as Buster and his friends begin to leave the next morning with Nooshy, Porsha, and Clay joining them, Suki stops them and tells them a major theater called The Majestic wants to put on their show. As they put on their first official performance, Buster watches from the VIP section, proud to have succeeded in Redshore City.
