The hotly anticipated brand new Broadway musical, The Prom, hit the Longacre Theater last night. Directed and Choreographed by Casey Nicholaw The Prom opens on Broadway after a pre-Broadway run in Atlanta.
The New York Times was full of praise for the production saying, 'Such a joyful hoot. With its kinetic dancing, broad mugging and belty anthems, it makes you believe in musical comedy again'. Time Out New York mirrored the sentiment saying, 'a sweet-hearted original musical that...leaves you grinning', continuing with 'It is cheering to see a musical comedy that engages with modern questions'.
Variety said 'With a tuneful score, a playful book, and performances that remind you what Broadway heart and chutzpah are all about, this cause celebre of a show turned out to be a joyous, funny, and sweet production that should appeal to several generations of musical fans.
The Observer were also full of praise for the production saying, 'The joyful new Broadway musical, one the other hand, celebrates the shy, the non-binary, or those who are simply gay and want to bring their same-sex bae to the dance' continuing with 'They wrap an outrageous showbiz satire around the earnest center, and the result is a perfect blend of salt and sweet'.
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 imagine. The community erupts into chaos as cultures clash. Emma's future and the actors careers all hang in the balance.
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.
