Against a purple-toned background are the words THE PROM in glittery letters at the top. Underneath are Aleshani Altan, who plays Alyssa Greene, wearing a purple sparkly prom dress, white sneakers, rainbow cuffed socks, and smiling wide. Next to Aleshani is Arri Toshiko Glenn, who plays Emma Nolan, wearing a black suit with black and white sneakers and smiling wide. The two actors have their inner hands linked and held up in a celebratory pose.

About The Prom:

A fabulous whirlwind of Broadway magic and small-town drama—and you're invited! The Prom is a celebratory musical about love, courage, and equality that premiered on Broadway in 2018 and was also adapted into a movie musical on Netflix in 2020. When four eccentric Broadway stars seek good PR to get back into the limelight, they make it their mission to help a high school student and her girlfriend attend their prom in Indiana.
