"The Prom", now
showing at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater,
is a delightful, heartwarming, and
entertaining musical. The show follows
four down and out Broadway stars who want
to find a good cause to help put them back
in the spotlight. As a result, they head
to a small Indiana town to help a student
get her chance to attend prom with her
girlfriend The characters and their
relationships are genuine, and the cast
brings these characters to life through
their incredible singing and dancing
skills. The show does an excellent job of
addressing the issue of lesbian
relationships, and the acceptance and
understanding of those relationships by
both the school and the town. To me its
overall message was to show that love is
love and should be celebrated, no matter
what. Mission accomplished. The show does
a great job of portraying the relationship
in a positive realistic manner without
ever being preachy. It is refreshing to
see a show that can be both amazingly
entertaining and progressive. The
Chanhassen has another big hit on their
hands and you should make arrangements to
see it now before it’s too late.
