"With an extremely talented cast and sure-footed direction that hits all the right notes, Greasepaint Youth Theatre brings the hilarious and heartwarming musical comedy, The Prom, vibrantly to life. Despite the challenges of staging a musical with mature themes in a youth theatre setting, Greasepaint's production resonates with laughter, emotion, and a crucial message of inclusion. The fact that the majority of the characters in the production are teens, and that the show was based on a true incident in a high school, makes the production even more impactful....a well-crafted musical with a relevant plot, a rich range of fun and realistic characters, and many toe-tapping tunes. ...Stephanie Likes' direction is spotless and derives warm, funny, and realistic portrayals from the entire cast....Hailey Laidig's portrayal of Emma is wonderful. She beautifully captures the essence of the character, and her warm singing voice infuses each song with emotional resonance.... As Dee Dee and Barry, Nora Palermo and Charlie Hall, respectively, create a comical duo who add both levity and heart to the production. Palermo's self-unaware Dee Dee and Hall's endearing portrayal of the older gay mentor bring a delightful dynamic to the stage. Palermo's singing voice is superb and both she and Hall have impeccable comic timing....The Prom is not just a fun and funny musical comedy, it's a celebration of tolerance, acceptance, and the power of being true to oneself." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
