Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue… and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the secondary school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to make a difference, the Broadway stars team up with the courageous student, leading to a transformation that brings everyone together in the name of love and acceptance.
Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical, THE PROM expertly captures all the humour and heart of a classic musical comedy with a message that resonates with audiences now more than ever. Now a major Netflix movie, The Prom continues to inspire and entertain with its blend of heart, humour, and show-stopping musical numbers that resonate with audiences of all ages.
THE PROM School Edition has been adapted from the original Broadway production. The School Edition has been carefully edited, with additional director’s notes throughout, to make the show more producible for secondary school and college groups/performers. Song keys have been adjusted to sit more comfortably in the range of secondary school and college performers. In some cases, problematic language has been changed, while in others an alternate choice is offered at the discretion of the director.
EMMA NOLAN — Teenager in Indiana. A reluctant poster child for LGBT youth. Very smart. A bit of a tomboy quality.
ALYSSA GREENE — A cheerleader and top student. Secretly Emma’s girlfriend. Faces constant pressure from her mother and friends.
MR. HAWKINS — The straitlaced school principal. An ally to Emma and a long-time fan of Dee Dee.
MRS. GREENE — Alyssa’s intimidating, conservative, but ultimately loving mother. The head of the PTA.
SHELBY, KAYLEE, NICK, KEVIN — Other students at school who bully (but eventually learn to accept) Emma.
BARRY GLICKMAN — Flamboyant Broadway star. Completely politically incorrect and doesn’t know it. Longs to give Emma the prom he was unable to have as a teen.
DEE DEE ALLEN — Broadway diva. A huge ego to match her huge talent. Hilariously self-involved but yearns to do something good for someone other than herself.
TRENT OLIVER — Pretentious Juilliard graduate recently cast in the non-Equity tour of Godspell. Loves to hear himself speak.
ANGIE DICKINSON — An ensemble member in the Broadway production of Chicago. Jaded Fosse girl with a heart of gold.
SHELDON — A charismatic press agent.
Ensemble includes Olivia Keating, Opening Night Party Attendees, Reporters, High School Students, PTA Members, Motel Clerk, Cast of the Non-Equity Tour of Godspell, Monster Truck Rally Audience, Mrs. Greene’s Friend, LGBT Students
