The Awesome 80s Prom will celebrate its third anniversary on September 15 at the famed nightclub, Webster Hall (125 East 11th Street). It also continues in Chicago with plans for productions in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, London and Japan.

"Over the last three years, over 50,000 wine coolers were served, over 100,000 packs of pop rocks were consumed and over 200,000 attempts at "The Worm" were tried by folks attending The Awesome 80s Prom," detail press notes, "The Awesome 80s Prom is the acclaimed interactive experience in the style of Tony n' Tina's Wedding and The Donkey Show set at the Wanaget High's Senior Prom… in 1989! All your favorite characters from your favorite '80s movies are at The Prom, from the Captain of the Football Team to the Asian Exchange Student, from the Geek to the hottie Head Cheerleader, and they're all competing for Prom King and Queen. And just like on 'American Idol,' the audience decides who wins, all while moonwalkin' to great retro hits."

The Awesome 80s Prom was conceived and directed by Ken Davenport and written by Davenport and "The Class of 1989", a group of performers including Sheila Berezan, Alex Back, Adam Bloom, Anne Bobby, Courtney Balan, Nicole Cicchella, Mary Faber, Stephen Guarino, Jeff Hiller, Emily McNamara, Troy Metcalf, Jenna Pace, Amanda Ryan Paige, Brian Peterson, Jessica West Regan, Kathy Searle, Mark Shunock, Josh Walden, Noah Weisberg, BranDon Williams, Simon Wong and Fletcher Young.
