After opening to rave reviews, our Broadway reviewer, Nicola Quinn headed to the Longacre Theater to see what The Prom is all about!
"We live in a bizarre time, with people posting images and videos of their private moments and some going as far as posting videos of themselves getting physically hurt in the hope that they will become a viral sensation. If you're not gaining traction online or building "your brand", then why exactly are you online? And if you're not online, do you even exist? Such is the case in this brilliant new Musical The Prom where our leading characters play Broadway stars teetering on the edge of their careers after several nasty reviews are released. They start to panic and must think of a smart way to reinvent themselves so that they can align with the youth and gain popularity - and a positive image and perhaps even go viral! After a few bogus ideas they land on one - head to a small town in Indiana that's made news after banning same-sex couples to attend their prom, where they intend to right the wrongs! Voila, that will surely get them sensational media coverage for their good deed?"
What is The Prom about?
In a small town in Indiana, prom has been cancelled! And it's not down to bad behaviour 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 hear 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 un-noticed and instead make the situation far worse then they could have ever imagined. The community erupts into chaos as cultures clash. Emma's future and the actors careers all hang in the balance. Will prom go ahead? Will justice be made? There's only one way to find out...
The Prom is currently playing at the Longacre Theater.
Such a joyful hoot. With its kinetic dancing, broad mugging and belty anthems, it makes you believe in musical comedy again.
