It was the kiss seen around the world when the cast of THE PROM took center stage at The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. They performed their finale number, at the end of which the two actresses who play the lesbian couple at the center of the show kissed.

'If you come away with your heart exploring something you didn't' think was possible, wow,' she says. 'Theater is amazing.'
