Hi, my name is Charles
0:02
Hi, I'm Talon Sandy. Hi, I'm Isabella. I'm 14 years old. I'm 11
0:07
I'm 12 years old. And the show I got to see was the prom
0:12
Build a prom for everyone show them all. It can be done if music flares and no one cares
0:22
You're a foolie heartbooks wield it now. And we'll see how the world
0:30
One day be, it might come true if we take a chance
0:36
But till that day comes, I say cue the drums, it's time to dance
0:40
The new musical Eleanor has just opened on Broadway, but is a big flop
0:46
A group of Broadway stars where Pandas being narcissists in multiple reviews, which caused their show to close
0:52
Now these couple famous people, they want publicity because they have been doing show after show that is really bad
0:59
They wanted to prove they were good people by helping the lesbian girl Emma who couldn take her girlfriend to prom in Indiana Things are looking pretty bad for Emma and the principal Mr Hawkins until the Broadway stars step in
1:15
It is very hard, but if I had to pick one to be my favorite, it would be Barry Glickman, played by Brooks Oshmondskas
1:24
He's just the funniest one, and he, I feel like from the beginning almost, even though his intentions technically were to get publicity, he was the most genuine out of all of them that really was
1:35
wanted that really like saw Emma and wanted to be like her friend and her like father figure
1:41
He is the one who really connects with Emma. Brooks Ashmonskos is very good at singing, acting
1:48
and comedy and it is a joy every time the character comes on stage. I would like to give a
1:55
shout out to the heart of the show Emma, played by Caitlin Communion, who brought a lot of
2:00
emotion and vulnerability to performance. She captured how hard it is to be picked
2:05
my favorite song in high school. My favorite song in the prom is Azele
2:13
It sung by Angie an aging chorus girl played by Angie Schwarrer to Emma to try to cheer her up after the whole prom fiasco It also trying to convince her that she has the zazz the personality to go out and share her own story
2:31
My favorite song in the show was Jess Freed because Emma Nolan, the girl played Emma Nolan and sing it really, really well
2:37
It was really beautiful. It's a really beautiful song in general. I'll give it some zah
2:45
There were a lot of morals explored in the show. I think the moral of the story was, um, except not only the moral of the prong is, no matter who you love, you should be treated the same
2:58
If you're a Broadway star, don't be a narcissist and give to others
3:02
If you're one of the parents or kids in Indiana, don't be homophobic
3:06
And if you're Emma or Alyssa or a kid, part of the LGBT plus Q community, be yourself
3:13
This is what Emma and Alyssa teach to the close-minded citizens of Edgewater
3:19
so they all learn to accept one another. I think other kids would love the prom Kids would like the show because it explores the struggle to fit in with a sense of humor and it ends with togetherness It teaches kids very much about acceptance and it a great show to see because of that and also just because it really fun
3:42
I've seen it twice and I can't wait to see it a third time
3:48
Acceptance. Joyous. Transformation. We're all lesbians! Universal
3:58
