THE AWESOME 80S PROM Makes Its International Premiere in Korea

The Awesome 80s Prom, which recently celebrated its fifth anniversary in NYC at the famed nightclub Webster Hall (125 East 11th Street), will be opening in Seoul, Korea at the H Club at Hong-Dae Station for an open-ended run. The Off-Broadway phenomenon has also enjoyed runs in Boston (still going strong!), Minneapolis, Baltimore, and Chicago. And, The Awesome 80s Prom is now available for licensing from Samuel French. It has already been performed at many regional theaters and high schools across the US. But Seoul marks its International Premiere!

Performances are every Friday and Saturday night at 8pm. Tickets are 30,000 Won (which is about $25 US.) It is being presented by New Venture Entertainment. Jong Hoon Lee directs a translation by Choong Hwan (Brian) Lee.

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 like "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go!" Come "Back in Time," to quote a Huey Lewis tune, and join the break-dance circle or just sit back and watch the '80s drama unfold. If you're lucky, you'll even get to dance with The Captain of the Football Team. And this time, you don't have a curfew!

The Awesome 80s Prom continues to be performed every Saturday evening in NYC at Webster Hall (125 East 11th Street). Prom doors open at 8 PM; although there's dancing and Duran Duran from 7:30 PM. Tickets from $49.99. After The Prom, party all night at Webster Hall for free with each paid admission. For tickets call toll free at 1-877-RAD-PROM (723-7766) or visit www.awesome80sprom.com.
