Show Synopsis: The Prom tells the story of an Indiana high schooler barred from bringing her girlfriend to the prom. When Emma’s story gains traction on Twitter, four Broadway performers descend upon her small Indiana town in an earnest, but misguided attempt to fight the injustice. Determined to transform lives and put themselves back in the limelight, the Broadway celebrities muscle in to change the town and give Emma the prom she deserves. The Prom expertly captures all the humor and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever.
