Director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw achieves to create a musical that is moving and remarkable. From the first note of the overture, you are in for an energetic treat. Music by Matthew Sklar feels very Disney with catchy melodies and lyrics by Chad Beguelin are stylish making it easy for all generations to understand and relate. What is special about The Prom is the risk it takes to teach others about the importance of being authentic. Emma’s story will inspire viewers to not judge someone’s Identity. Although some numbers might not be someone’s cup of tea because it’s themes are straight forward, overall the musical’s message is the takeaway. Every number teaches you something special.
