A group of Broadway stars, lamenting their days of fame, come to the rescue when a student is refused the opportunity to bring her girlfriend to the prom in the town of Edgewater, Indiana. This results in a magnificent evening that inspires the audience to rely on their loved ones and develop a deeper understanding of them.

*Audiences should note that the production features mild adult language.
