Said the musical\u2019s producers Bill Damaschke, Dori Berinstein, and Jack Lane to EW<\/a>: \u201cBroadway\u2019s\u00a0The Prom<\/em>\u00a0is grateful to Macy\u2019s and NBC for their acceptance and inclusivity of a community and a story that is about acceptance, tolerance and love. These are some of the themes reflected in our musical comedy and we are very proud to be the very first LGBTQ kiss on the Thanksgiving Day Parade.\u201d<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what Towleroad\u2019s theatre critic Naveen Kumar had to say about The Prom \u2013 from his review<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s easy to look around at the theatre and think,\u00a0\u201cWhat are we doing here?\u201d<\/i>\u00a0\u2014 together in the dark, ignoring news alerts piling up on our switched-off phones. It\u2019s always the foremost question on my mind when the lights go down.\u00a0The Prom<\/i>\u2019s answer \u2014 to help us understand that everyone, regardless of who they are, wants to be happy \u2014 is deceptively simple. As we\u2019ve learned the hard way, it\u2019s also all too easy to forget. If you skipped prom the first time around, or simply pretended to enjoy it, trust me \u2014 you deserve another chance.\u201d<\/p>\n Read his full review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n A few reactions from Twitter:<\/p>\n So proud.

Even ten years ago, that wouldn\u2019t have happened. Despite everything terrible in the world, that progress like that can happen gives me hope love can still win.<\/p>\n \u2014 Starla Huchton (@starlahuchton) November 22, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Thanksgiving Morning kiss from #Broadways<\/a> THE PROM. #MacysDayParade<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/2mS9eq0WXQ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Kevin Galliford (@KallMeKG) November 22, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n #macysthanksgivingdayparade<\/a> The parade is beaming into millions of homes across America. The musical number from Broadway play The Prom was great, and featured gay<\/a> couples<\/a>, ending with a lesbian<\/a> kiss. How to normalize what is normal, but not for too many closed minds.
