Show Description:
Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage upon which to shine once more. 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. Local girl, Emma Nolan, wants to take her girlfriend to prom, but the PTA are on a mission to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow.  The entire town has a date with destiny when Broadway’s brassiest join forces with a courageous girl to kick-ball-change the world. Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Best Musical and a hit Netflix film, everyone’s invited to this joyous Broadway show with a message of love that resonates now more than ever.

The New York Times says it “makes you believe in musical comedy again!”

New York Magazine calls it “smart and big-hearted”

Milissa Carey, Director; Deb Lambert, Music Director
