Review of The Prom (2020) by Johnny Oleksinski for New York Post — 02 Dec 2020
The material, filled with peppy pop songs, is admittedly funnier than Murphy and his cast make it. Barry (played on Broadway by the brilliant Brooks Ashmanskas) was a riot onstage, but Corden’s bland performance is generically kind, fey and mostly joke-less. Someone like Nathan Lane would’ve made a meal of every line.
That said, the story is more moving here than it was at the theater, which comes as a surprise.
