The Prom Tour

The national tour of the 2019 Drama Desk Award winner for Outstanding Musical “The Prom” will play at Center Theatre Group / Ahmanson Theatre from August 9 through September 11, 2022 and will open August 10, 2022.

The national tour of The Prom is currently playing the Golden Gate Theatre through July 17, 2022. Lady Camden, a SF-based drag queen who placed first-runner-up on the latest season of RuPaul's Drag Race, visited The Prom for a pre-show as part of their LGBTQ night. 

The opening of the national tour engagement of THE PROM at the Fabulous Fox Theatre has been delayed due to positive COVID-19 tests within the show’s cast and crew. The Tuesday, January 25 through Thursday January 27 performances are cancelled. 

Below, watch as Richard Ridge unites the four stars of The Prom- Kaden Kearney and Kalyn West from the National tour and Brenda Santabalbina and Daiana Liparoti from the Spanish-Language premiere in Mexico.

Visiting THE PROM in original stage form will be refreshing for those who know only the Netflix version. It's as if someone grabbed a theatrical scouring pad and scrubbed away all the glitzy, feel-good 'Glee'-dom that made Murphy's take feel slightly sugar-rushed. On stage, THE PROM is refreshingly edgier, campier, and just a smidge more foul-mouthed than in the movie, albeit still unrealistic and all too tidy in the end...

The National Tour of the 2019 Drama Desk Award winner for Outstanding Musical THE PROM began performances on November 2 at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. The tour stars Kaden Kearney (they/them) as 'Emma, High School Student, Banned from The Prom,' Kalyn West as 'Alyssa Greene, Head of Student Council with a Secret,' and more.

In 2010 a gay Mississippi high school student was banned from coming to her senior prom by the school’s Board of Education because she wanted to bring her girlfriend as her date.  She challenged the ruling, which resulted in the cancellation of the prom.  The student and the ACLU sued the district.  The federal court found the school district guilty of violating the student’s first amendment rights and said the prom must be held.
