About The Prom

It’s a story of love, acceptance and embracing the person you were meant to be.

You’re invited to The Prom, Broadway’s new smash hit and now a major motion picture on Netflix that’s full of sparkle and “Zazz!”

A troupe of hilarious, self-absorbed and down-on-their-luck Broadway stars shake up a small Indiana town as they rally behind a teen who wants to go to the prom with her girlfriend.

The Prom – it’s about a love that unites them all!

Tony-nominated for Best Musical and winner of Best Musical Score.

Customer Testimonials

Customer Reviews

This show is truly something special. This is a show everyone should go see.
Thank you SO much for doing a production of The Prom! Such a fun, energetic, heartfelt show. We in MN appreciate you taking a chance and doing a show that is so incredibly timely and relevant and that spreads a message of love and acceptance.
We attend CDT several times per year and this was BY FAR the best performance we have enjoyed to date- simply WONDERFUL!!!
The Prom is definitely a show that many of your patrons need to see right now - and wow what a way to meet people in the middle from different ways of thinking.
I have been going to CDT since I was 10 and this was, without doubt, the BEST performance I have ever seen at CDT (and many other theaters to)!!!
Loved The Prom. Wonderful choreography/dancing, singing, and acting. Thank you for championing this message and for including this play within your schedule. Makes me love CDT even more!!!
The Prom was wonderful in every way and I am proud that the choice was made to produce this modern musical with such an important message.
We loved the show and the message of inclusivity. So happy our community was chosen for the midwestern premiere.
I'm so, so glad that CDT is doing such an important show! Seeing kids in the audience light up at the queer representation was just beautiful.
Moved by the performance. More moved by the courage of the Artistic Director's choice of material, at the risk of losing some audience. Occasional daring is how you build sustainability.
Loved The Prom! It felt good to bring our daughter to a show written about a lesbian kid like her.
