VO5

media release: Adult Swim Presents: Cosmic Prom feat. VO5

Adult Swim gets a supernova-sized glow up! We’re throwing an interplanetary disco party with so much glam & rock even David Bowie would be jealous. Your ticket includes a live concert from beloved space oddities VO5, a signature cocktail (or mocktail) from the good folks at State Line Distillery, cosmic kitsch galore, and the chance to be crowned Cosmic Prom Monarch.

Dress code: classic promcore, cosmic chaos, Dr. Spock chic, full-on space suit, or whatever you happen to throw on that morning. Costumes are always welcome but never required!

Intergalactic Activities

Premiere Trivia, Cosmic Prom Edition (Sessions at 8 and 9 pm): Prove to everyone around you that you’re definitely not an alien by showing off your knowledge of human culture
VO5 Discofabulous Dance Party: The main event! Party like it’s 2999 as VO5 turns the Wonderground into the coolest cantina in the galaxy
Portraits from the Void (Photo Booth): Strike a pose before you blast off
Planetary Pursuit: One museum, eight planets. (RIP Pluto.) Complete our planetary scavenger hunt & claim your cosmic prize
First Contact, LEGO Edition: Build your own extraterrestrial lifeform & vote on the best alien
Central Corsage Command: Craft a keepsake corsage or boutonniere from paper and silk flowers for yourself, your date, or the little ET who lives in your closet
Extraterrestrial Transmogrification: Get weird(er)! Adorn your earthly vessel with gems, body paint, and more
Stardust Station: How is glitter like a cowbell? You always need more! Sparkle it up with a generous helping of stardust
Close Encounters of the Rooftop Kind: Beam yourself up to the rooftop for some actual stargazing, great views of the Capitol, and chicken pals
Cosmic Coronation (8:45 pm): Madison Shakespeare Company royalty (King Edward, Queen Elizabeth, and the scheming Lord Falconbridge) will select the Prom Court and crown the Cosmic Prom Monarch. Long may they reign!

Houston, We Have a Cocktail

Intergalactic fun fact: mixology supergiant Mike McDonald at Stateline Distillery creates signature cockails for every Adult Swim, and this time he's outdone himself! The Espresso Stardust features State Line apple brandy & coffee liqueur, Dutch cocoa, sakura bitters, and Twinkle-Twinkle edible glitter (and it's much more sparkly when you see it in person). The Radiant Raspberry includes State Line light rum, lime, raspberry, falernum, orange liqueur, and Bittercube cherry bark vanilla bitters. We got a preview of both, and can confirm that they're both out of this world!

And did we mention that stellar slices from Carmen's Pizzaria will also be available for purchase?

What is Adult Swim, anyway?

Adult Swim at Madison Children’s Museum borrows the public pool tradition of kicking out the kids so adults can have the place to themselves (just without actual swimming). Adult Swim makes space to play like a grown-up—dancing, drinking, and moonwalking your way through the museum.
