When a small-town Indiana high school cancels its prom rather than allow a lesbian student to attend with her girlfriend, a group of self-absorbed Broadway stars descend on the town seeking a cause to revive their careers. But as the narcissistic actors actually get to know Emma, the brave teenager at the center of the controversy, they discover that making a difference matters more than making headlines.

The Prom is a musical with music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, and a book by Bob Martin and Beguelin, based on an original concept by Jack Viertel. The musical follows four Broadway actors lamenting their days of fame, as they travel to the conservative town of Edgewater, Indiana, to help a lesbian student banned from bringing her girlfriend to high school prom. The musical had a tryout at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2016 and premiered on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre in October 2018. A film adaptation, starring Meryl Streep and James Corden, and produced/directed by Ryan Murphy, was released on Netflix on December 11, 2020.
