The Prom
Through June 10
Did you miss your prom experience? The latest musical at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, the newest mainstage show the theater has done since 2010, is "a fun night that pops with upbeat dance breaks," according to our reviewer. Inspired by real-life events that took place in 2010, the parent-teacher association of Edgewater, Indiana, has decided to cancel prom because of a same-sex date, but not before four unemployed Broadway actors looking to champion a cause have a say in the matter. Tickets start at $53. Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, 501 W 78th St., Chanhassen, chanhassendt.com/theprom
Teo Nguyen at Mia
Through June 18
