The musical 'The Prom', currently performed at Foothill Music Theatre, explores themes of empathy and acceptance as two young women navigate their relationship amid a homophobic community. Broadway stars Barry Glickman and Dee Dee Allen, coming off a disastrous show, take it upon themselves to support the couple’s right to dance together at prom. The production balances humor with poignant moments, showcasing the transformative power of art amid societal challenges and underlining the need for narratives that encourage empathy in today’s world.
A revealing line in the musical 'The Prom' hits powerfully in today's perilous, anti-artistic zeitgeist. When told of an Indiana high school's nonexistent drama program, a character replies, 'Well, that explains your general lack of empathy.'
