This page covers everything you need — from what the show is and what to expect, to finding the right seats and buying with complete confidence.

Show Information

The Prom began with a pre-Broadway tryout at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta in 2016 before opening on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre in New York City on November 15, 2018. The musical is an original story conceived by Jack Viertel, with music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, a book by Bob Martin and Chad Beguelin, and original direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw.

The show is a contemporary musical comedy with a bright, feel-good tone and a story centered on acceptance, inclusion, and the collision between celebrity vanity and genuine compassion. The original Broadway production closed on August 11, 2019, and The Prom has since continued through licensed regional, community, school, and touring productions. The show runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes and includes one intermission.

The Prom received seven Tony Award nominations in 2019, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, Best Actress in a Musical for Beth Leavel, and Best Actor in a Musical for Brooks Ashmanskas. It was also nominated for Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards. The production gained additional visibility after a 2018 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade performance featuring the first same-sex kiss between two women on a network television broadcast of the parade, and its audience expanded further through the 2020 Netflix film directed by Ryan Murphy.

Story Summary

The Prom is set in present-day New York City and Edgewater, Indiana. The story begins with four self-absorbed Broadway performers — Dee Dee Allen, Barry Glickman, Trent Oliver, and Angie — reeling from a flop and looking for a public-relations rescue. They find their cause in Emma Nolan, a high school student who has been barred from bringing her girlfriend, Alyssa Greene, to prom.

When the Broadway stars descend on Edgewater to “save the day,” their theatrical grandstanding meets the real emotional stakes of Emma’s fight. Emma wants something simple and deeply meaningful: the chance to attend prom as herself, with the person she loves. Alyssa, meanwhile, is caught between her relationship with Emma and the expectations of her mother, Mrs. Greene, the PTA president opposing Emma’s request.

The show blends satire, showbiz comedy, and sincere coming-of-age emotion as its characters confront prejudice, self-image, and the difference between performing compassion and practicing it. The Prom is fully self-contained and requires no prior knowledge; its message of acceptance, love, and standing up to intolerance lands clearly for theatergoers across ages and backgrounds.

Story Highlights

The Prom is filled with upbeat musical comedy numbers, tender character songs, and ensemble moments that showcase its mix of Broadway sparkle and emotional sincerity.

• "Changing Lives" — The opening number introduces the self-important Broadway stars and their outsized egos. It quickly establishes the show’s comic tone and the performers’ hunger for attention.
• "Just Breathe" — Emma’s quiet, vulnerable introduction gives the audience a clear view of her anxiety, isolation, and courage. It positions her as the emotional center of the story.
• "It's Not About Me" — This satirical showstopper captures the Broadway actors at their most comically self-involved. While they insist their intervention is selfless, the number turns their celebrity vanity into a full-scale musical joke.
• "Dance with You" — A tender duet between Emma and Alyssa, this song brings warmth and intimacy to the story. It highlights the sweetness of young love and the simple wish to be seen and accepted.
• "Love Thy Neighbor" — Trent’s rousing comic number uses scripture to challenge the townspeople’s hypocrisy. It is one of the show’s most energetic examples of humor delivering a pointed message.
• "Unruly Heart" — Emma’s anthem of self-acceptance arrives through a viral video and stands out as one of the musical’s most moving moments. It gives voice to the show’s central theme of living openly and honestly.
• "It's Time to Dance" — The finale brings the full company together for a celebratory, inclusive prom. It delivers the musical comedy release the story has been building toward from the beginning.

How Much Do Tickets to The Prom Cost?

The Prom ticket prices vary by seat location, performance date, venue, city, and the type of production, with local demand often differing from one run to another.

The Prom ticket prices vary based on venue, city, seat location, date, and performance time. Premium orchestra and front sections are in high demand, while rear and upper-level sections offer excellent value.

Weekend performances, popular dates, and stronger local markets can move prices higher, while weeknight performances and rear seating areas may offer more flexibility. Buying earlier usually gives you a stronger selection of orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony seats before the best-value options are claimed.

The Prom Seating Guide

The Prom is performed in theater venues that can vary by city, production, and presenter. Where you sit shapes the experience, from close-up views of the comedy and character work to wider sightlines for Casey Nicholaw’s dance-driven musical staging.

Best Seats for The Prom

The best seats for The Prom depend on whether you want the most immersive view, the clearest full-stage picture, or the strongest value for your budget.

• Best value: Upper mezzanine and rear orchestra sections often provide a balanced view of the stage at a lower price than premium orchestra seats. These sections work well for theatergoers who want to enjoy the full musical staging and ensemble choreography.
• Closest to the stage: Front orchestra sections put you nearest the performers, making the comedy, facial expressions, and emotional scenes feel especially immediate.
• Best overall experience: Mid-orchestra and front mezzanine sections usually offer the strongest balance of proximity and full-stage visibility. These seats are a strong fit for musical comedy, where dialogue, dance, and ensemble movement all matter.
• For families with young children: Sections with aisle access can make arrival, seating, and intermission movement easier. Since The Prom runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission and contains some mild language and mature themes relating to LGBTQ acceptance, many families plan the evening with older children and teens in mind.
• For groups: Coordinate contiguous seats early, especially if you want to sit together in popular orchestra or mezzanine sections. Larger blocks in preferred areas can sell through quickly for in-demand performances.

The Prom Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for The Prom productions directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your angle to the stage, your distance from the front, and whether you're in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony — so the seats you choose match exactly what you're looking for before the curtain rises.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the venue can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Theater doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for the intermission. The Prom runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission, so use the act break strategically. Lines for concessions and restrooms often build immediately after intermission begins.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Photography and video recording are not permitted during the performance. Silence your phone before the show begins so the audience and performers can stay focused on the production.
• For families. The Prom is generally appropriate for most ages, with some mild language and mature themes relating to LGBTQ acceptance. It is often recommended for older children, teens, and adults, so parents may want to talk through the show’s themes of inclusion and acceptance before attending.
