The Broadway musical turned Netflix film, The Prom, is currently having its Japanese premiere! The production began performances to 50% capacity at TBS Akasaka ACT Theater on March 10.

We've got trouble, folks, right here in Indiana and when Broadway's brassiest hear a student is unceremoniously sidelined from a small-town Indiana prom - and the press is involved - they are ready to kick-ball-change the world. A new musical comedy about the power of love (and a good 11 o'clock number), The Prom is about so much more than just a dance.

The Prom played its final Broadway performance on Sunday, August 11, 2019 and is set to launch a national tour. Tony, Emmy, Golden Globe & Peabody Award winner Ryan Murphy (The Boys In The Band, "American Horror Story") recently adapted the musical into a film for Netflix.
