Big city stars set themselves on a collision course with small town PTA politicians in this sequin-covered musical comedy featuring #Broadway veteran, Piper Arpan! (Monty Python‘s “Spamalot!” and The Radio City Rockettes).
Fresh off a humiliating and high-profile flop, four of Broadway’s brassiest, sassiest stars decide to put themselves back in the spotlight by finding a noble cause to champion. As luck (and social media) would have it, a small-town high school in Indiana has gotten itself into some controversy surrounding its prom. A sweet, courageous young woman wants to take her girlfriend to the dance. But the conservative faculty members and self-righteous parents in the community will stop at nothing to deny the girls their spin around the dance floor.
Enter the belty, quirky Broadway quartet to the rescue, inviting the students to be the kick-ball-change they want to see in the world!
THE PROM was praised by Variety Magazine as “…so full of happiness that you think your heart is about to burst!” And we think it’s a perfect, sparkly, spectacular way to kick off Spring and close out our 41st season.
