Lyric Theatre Presents ‘The Prom’
A New York Times Critic’s Pick, with Jesse Green calling it such “a joyful hoot. With its kinetic dancing, broad mugging and belty anthems, it makes you believe in musical comedy again.” The Prom follows four eccentric Broadway stars who desperately need a new stage to shine bright upon once more. Seeking out a cause, they head straight to small-town Indiana. Through social media, they have heard of trouble brewing around a school prom. Local girl, Emma Nolan, wants to take her girlfriend to prom but a bigoted and backwards PTA are on a mission to keep the things on the straight and narrow. Determined to transform lives and put themselves back in the limelight, these Broadway celebrities muscle in to change the town and give Emma and the whole town a prom for everyone.
A show about big Broadway stars, a small town, and the love that unites them. We can’t wait to take you to The Prom!
