The Prom Reviews
New England Theater Mirror- Recommended
"...It's the promsemble of 8 performers who play high students, the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar, monster truck event attendees, reporters, "back up" the leads, sing their hearts out and dance their faces off. The promsemble that makes musical numbers including 'Changing Lives,' 'It's Not About Me," "The Acceptance Song," and the finale, "It's Time to Dance" pop, who execute the exciting choreography by Taavon Gamble."
The New England Theatre Geek- Highly Recommended
"...The Prom could have just been a feel-good comedy that evaporates from memory as soon as the curtain goes down. Instead, it burrows into its audience's hearts. It may not single handedly change the minds of the bigots who rant against gay kids at prom, but it's certainly a welcome affirmation of queer joy."
The Sleepless Critic- Highly Recommended
"...The Prom is helmed by a strong and exuberant cast with exceptional comedic timing. Dynamite duo Barry Glickman and Dee Dee, portrayed with pizzazz by Johnny Kuntz and Mary Callanan, deliver lots of laughs as seemingly shallow thespians, but their real charm is exposed by the people they meet in this fish out of water production."
Joyce's Choices- Highly Recommended
"...SpeakEasy Stage presents a musical with heart, exuberance, and an important reminder for the here and now pulled from headlines past. THE PROM is a hilarious and moving tale of thespians helping lesbians in a small Indiana town where a gay teen couple are banned from attending their H.S. prom for wanting to bring their same sex dates! After withering reviews of their most recent show about Eleanor Roosevelt (someone MUST write that musical!) the thespian quartet in question decide to hitch their shrinking careers to a worthy cause, in their words "a safe, high profile, low risk injustice they can drive to. " They're "gonna change the world one lesbian at a time!""
