I’m surprised they did the finale number with lesbian kiss at parade. There are several good numbers in the show. For me, the high school prom was the less interesting part of show. Thel broadway characters are a delight

I liked the Mean Girls number much more than when I saw it in the show.. I think out of context it stood more strongly alone than when being surrounded by similar songs. But I really enjoyed MG. The Prom song didn't make me want to see it.

I think the lesbian characters and the prom plot work wonderfully well in the show, but perhaps not so much in one number out of context. (I didn't see the parade pesentation.)

First gay kiss on the parade.

I loved "The Prom". The Broadway stars are delightful (though the Fosse Dancer hits a sour note with her gypsy joke), but the high school lovers are the heart of the show, and that shone through for me in their performance today.

I found the Mean Girls number incredibly generic. And yes, the choreo is pulling from the same styles, but most Broadway dance is fairly repetitive, just the reference point is changing as we bring hip hop to the theater.

The show that The Prom is really a twin to is Everybody's Talking About Jamie. The former is more polished (and gives us the finale we want), but I felt the latter was more genuine. They both left me in tears.
