“TOUCHES A CHORD IN ANY PERSON WHO’S NOT ONLY FOUND A SAFE HOME IN THE WORLD OF MUSICALS, BUT A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN, TOO! This joyous, original musical, with a big-laugh book, exuberant songs and jaw-dropping star-turns, is so full of happiness that you think your heart is about to burst. It reminds you what Broadway is all about.” – Variety

“SMART AND BIG-HEARTED. Genuine joy rolls off the stage in this musical full of witty delights, irrepressibly energetic tunes, winking lyrics and a cheeky book. I seldom stopped laughing.

It’s a damn good time! Did I shed several real tears in THE PROM’s final scene? Maybe I did.”

– New York Magazine

CRITIC’S PICK! “The Prom consistently delivers on its entertainment promises as well as its Golden Age premise: MUSICALS, HOWEVER ZAZZY, CAN ADDRESS THE DEEPEST ISSUES DIVIDING US. Like a certain cockeyed optimist, you may even note a lump in your throat.

It makes you believe in musical comedy again!” – New York Times
