About

Everyone's invited to the joyous Broadway hit that New York Magazine hails as "smart and big-hearted" while The New York Times declares it "makes you believe in musical comedy again!" THE PROM is a new musical comedy about big Broadway stars on a mission to change the world and the love they discover that unites them all.

Variety raves, "It's so full of happiness that you think your heart is about to burst." And The Hollywood Reporter cheers, "It's comic gold!"

THE PROM features direction and choreography by Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw (Mean Girls, The Book of Mormon), a book by Tony Award winner Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone) and Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin (Aladdin), music by Tony Award nominee Matthew Sklar (Elf) and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Chad Beguelin.

    Pain, Laughter, Hope, and Jazz Hands

    by D. C. on 4/26/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This musical was fun in the banter, deep in the themes, and, as you would expect, splashed with flamboyance! Self absorbed stage actors, desperate for attention, find a cause in the backwards world of Indiana high school politics. When they pressure the local authorities to host a prom that was cancelled due to the possibility of a lesbian couple attending, they are exposed for their ulterior motive. The refreshing parts of this story are that as campy as the jokes are, they originate at the nerve of society's current LGBTQ+ negative fixation. The characters seem authentic, both as shallow divas, and as courageous allies for the lovely (and powerfully voiced) engénue. And the happy ending where they suggest true change is happening because our youth have the capacity to open their minds to people who are different, delivers with style. And jazz hands. Loved it!!!

    Fun Show. Great Message.

    by red1 on 4/25/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This is a fun show that explores form serious themes (narcissisms, selflessness, gowning a a person, being who you truly are and love.) But all with a light heated fun approach and is definably a feel good show.

    Fantastic Show!

    by NicMendez on 4/24/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Should be mandatory show for all to see. Excellent story of inclusion and acceptance, especially important in our society right now. We laughed and we cried. Truly enjoyed the talented cast.

    typical political biases with a shade of humor is back!

    by K. S. on 4/24/22

    The music was okay. The casting was good; well, that’s it. If you enjoy watching a presentation of politically filled slogans with self-righteous indignation and idealism mixed with some jingles, you found one. I did miss theater during COVID, so I was happy to be able to see them again. However, Prom reminded me of what’s not enjoyable about broadway once again.

    So entertaining and meaningful

    by PamKVC on 4/23/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The actors were wonderful. The story line very important for our changing times. Good dancing, good original songs. Just a fun and uplifting story. Perhaps not for kids under 10? Highly recommended.

    Such a great message!

    by Mama Rose on 4/23/22Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I saw this show on Broadway, and have seen the film as well, and the tour holds up to both versions. Some of the actors were a little more over the top than those on Broadway, but some others were pleasant surprises! The actor playing Alyssa has an AMAZING voice, and was totally a stand out. This is one of the best written shows in years - with a fabulous message to boot. You’ll cry and cheer!
