The Prom is a musical with music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin and a book by Bob Martin and Beguelin based on an original concept by Jack Wiertel. Four narcissistic Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So, when they hear trouble is brewing about a small town prom, they know it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow – but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to the prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl and the town’s citizens and the result is love that brings them all together.
