THE PROM Comes to Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance
Performances run June 9-17.
By: Stephi Wild Jun. 05, 2023
When four Broadway stars who are in desperate need of a new stage hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town Indiana prom-and the press is involved-they know that it's time to put a spotlight on the issue ... and themselves. The town's parents want to keep the dance on the straight and narrow-but when one student wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. Now, Broadway's brassiest are coming to join the fight and they are ready to kick-ball-change the world.
From the writers of The Drowsy Chaperone, Elf, and Aladdin, this hilarious musical comedy features uproarious laughs and show-stopping dance numbers. The Prom is about inspiring people to accept their differences, being the star you were always meant to be, and that immortal truth: there's no business like getting in other people's business.
