THE PROM - A Feel-Good Musical - Berkeley Playhouse

There’s reason feel-good productions hit the sweet spot these days. Hasn’t the last decade been outrageous and horrid for many folks? This musical hits the zeitgeist, glamming its way into town with seven Tony nominations and a film featuring Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman tucked under its crown. Set in Indiana, a high school kid wants to bring her girlfriend to the prom, and the town’s not having it until a team of LGBTQ+ supporters rise to fight (kick, dance, sing) for the freedom to love who she loves. There’s an abundance of joy and the sense that if people drop fear, what pops into sight is unity, harmony and, of course, gowns and tuxedos for all. -Lou Fancher, East Bay Express
