Bullying? Really? Oy. If the person wants to say NO, that's on them.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Why not at Chicago? So what that all the women 'possibly' killed their husbands. You're not technically marries...yet.
Seriously...not to rain on your parade. This has been done before SO many times. Give the lady a chance to not feel pressured in front of an audience of people. This is a romantic moment and not a public event.

"I think the universe is telling you that this is not a good idea."
Actually it seems that the "I don't have time for your romantic gesture" members of this board are who's telling him this.
1) A proposal takes like 30 seconds. It is not going to kill anyone to stand in the audience and be respectful while they have their special moment (or to leave if you want!).
2) While the points made about "What if she wants to say no?" or "It should be private" are valid for those making the comments, I believe this person and their s.o. are the only ones this matters to.
3) Stop telling this person how to propose!
A public engagement may not be desired by everyone, but if they think their girl would love it, they know better than anyone here.
Good grief.

I love that a proposal takes 30 seconds. You think people just rush out say "will you marry me?" and then rush off the stage? That's not the case. Look at this gay proposal from CINDERELLA. No one wants to sit through your personal crap!

"3) Stop telling this person how to propose! "
Seeing as this person opened themselves up for feedback, advice, and scrutiny by posting on a public message board, I would suggest this is a completely moot point. The OP began by asking about a Broadway proposal... So... I'm not sure how you can then turn around and tell us not to offer that advice.

This person never said they're going to do some 15 minute production for their proposal. Every public proposal I've seen was literally "Will you marry me?" "Yes!" *kiss and applause*
They asked for how they should go about arranging a proposal at a show, not whether or not they should or what everyone thinks about it.
However, I retract everything I've said, given I clearly forgot what message board I was posting on. :p

"1) A proposal takes like 30 seconds. It is not going to kill anyone to stand in the audience and be respectful while they have their special moment (or to leave if you want!)."
I'm not sure why that event demands respect from the audience.
Anyway, there are varying opinions posted in this thread. Some of us were pro and some con to the subject brought up by the OP. Nothing wrong with that.
p.s. If you know a message board that isn't like this one, please let me know because I doubt if one exists. They're all the same.

Although not everyone is talented enough to write their own video game it is possible to come up with a personal proposal and then share it afterwards.

Hi. I'm going to see the King and I this Sunday with my prom date, and I wanted to try and plan a promposal in that same form as these wedding proposals. Does anyone have an incite on how to do this for this such show? Thanks so much!

No, but they might have some insight.

If the person you're going with is already your prom date, why do you need to plan a promposal? Isn't a promposal to ask someone to go to prom?

^they probably already know they are going with eachother, but they haven't asked eachother yet. Also that proposal for Daniel josh green from his boyfriend was so perfect and so cute. I want to be proposed to that way! Also they are both HOT

My fiancé propose to me on a Broadway stage last may. :) It was actually very intimate, because we're friends with an actor, so we went backstage after the show was done and he took me on the stage after everyone had left. It was just us, the ghost light, and our friend filming (though I discovered he was there later!). I don't know if I'd have liked a public proposal with all the audience still there.

The world doesn't think promposals are important. I would think they would not entertain the idea.

This thread reminds me of my favorite Broadway-style marriage proposal. It was at the end of an ASCAP concert in LA.

I'd rather watch 2 people fight over the spoils from a divorce--average length of a marriage[except for Roxy] is 4. something years anyway so why bother?
No---I'm not bitter...................
