在这部求票记纪录片片中,博尔赫斯曾说：“如果有天堂，天堂应该是图书馆的模样。”而对于一年在百老汇看500部剧的尼基•考克安尼来说，天堂则是剧院的模样。40遍《猫》，10遍《长夜漫漫路迢迢》， 她对百老汇上演的一切戏剧耳熟能详。她一边说着“生活就是戏剧（Life is theater）”，一边让自己生活在戏剧中（Life in theater），而电影也采取了这样的拍摄方式，将百老汇戏剧影像与她的人生经历相结合、相对应，让戏剧像镜子一般映照出她的一生。
A 78-year-old Indian woman in New York is the world's most passionate theatergoer. Nicki Cochrane been going to at least one play every day for more than 25 years. Always taking along her large bags, Nicki is ready to fight for a free seat at any show that's worth her time. She has developed an array of ingenious means by which she acquires free tickets to most New York theaters. When small talk with the box office managers doesn't doesn't get her a free ticket, Nicki stands outside the theater entrance, holding a sign which says "One Ticket Please" hoping that a stranger will have an extra ticket to spare. Disliked by theater staff for her behavior, Nicki prides herself with a staunch dedication to the art. But at what point does dedication turn into addiction? As Nicki rushes around Manhattan from one theatre to the next, we find out about her personality and the choices she has made in order to make a life at the theatre possible.
如果戏剧是现实就好了。老了可以活成这样。
