WHAT IS THE PROM ABOUT?

In a small town in Indiana, prom has been canceled! And it's not down to bad behavior or financial issues - it's because the high school has forbidden, a female student, Emma from bringing her girlfriend! When a group of quirky Broadway actors hears her story, filled with outrage they swiftly travel to the community in an attempt to correct the injustice.

However, their attempts at social activism don't go unnoticed and instead make the situation far worse than they could have ever imagined. The community erupts into chaos as cultures clash. Emma's future and the actor's careers all hang in the balance.

Will prom go ahead? Will justice be made? There's only one way to find out...

Hilarious, Powerful, Fabulous

Chad Beguelin and Bob Martin's Book is hysterical and superb with a brilliant score by Beguelin and Mathew Skylar. The Prom captures the ludicrous mindset of our time with wickedly sharp wit.
