Everyone’s invited to the joyous Broadway musical that inspired the hit Netflix adaptation. New York Magazine calls it “smart and big-hearted” and The New York Times says the show “makes you believe in musical comedy again!” The Prom is a new musical comedy about big Broadway stars on a mission to change the world and the love they discover that unites them all.

Variety raves, “It’s so full of happiness that you think your heart is about to burst.” And The Hollywood Reporter cheers, “It’s comic gold!”

You belong at The Prom!

Our objective is for every child to have the best learning opportunity possible, starting with making sure they have the necessary tools they need to be successful in the classroom. This is often impossible for many families whose budgets are already stretched too thin.
