What Broadway heart is all about! Inspired by a true story, the seven-time Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical THE PROM follows four eccentric Broadway stars who are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue…and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny.
Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, THE PROM expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.

AGE RECOMMENDATION: THE PROM deals with bullying, specifically against LGBTQ+ youth. There is brief mention of drinking alcohol, Xanax, and sex. Mild language is used. This musical is appropriate for ages 13 and up.
