The Prom First Look Meryl Streep Nicole Kidman In Lgbtq Musical

Here’s a more detailed synopsis per Netflix: “Dee Dee Allen (Meryl Streep) and Barry Glickman (James Corden) are New York City stage stars with a crisis on their hands: their expensive new Broadway show is a major flop that has suddenly flatlined their careers. Meanwhile, in small-town Indiana, high school student Emma Nolan (newcomer Jo Ellen Pellman) is experiencing a very different kind of heartbreak: despite the support of the high school principal (Keegan-Michael Key), the head of the PTA (Kerry Washington) has banned her from attending the prom with her girlfriend, Alyssa (Ariana DeBose). When Dee Dee and Barry decide that Emma’s predicament is the perfect cause to help resurrect their public images, they hit the road with Angie (Nicole Kidman) and Trent (Andrew Rannells), another pair of cynical actors looking for a professional lift. But when their self-absorbed celebrity activism unexpectedly backfires, the foursome find their own lives upended as they rally to give Emma a night where she can truly celebrate who she is.” Related Meryl Streep: I Wanted to Be an Actor Like Robert De Niro After Seeing ‘Mean Streets’ Colin Firth Just Reignited Our Hopes for ‘Mamma Mia 3’ Related 7 New Netflix Shows in October 2022 – and the Best Reasons to Watch Oscars 2023: Best International Feature Film Predictions
Netflix recently released first look photos from the production, which has a very Murphy feel, though his sensibility will translate well to the heartfelt Broadway comedy. “It just had some of the juju of ‘Mamma Mia!,’” Streep told THR of her decision to take the part in “The Prom.” “This is based on a real thing that happened to kids in Indiana, and has a happy ending, everything we dream of in 2020. I wanted to do it. So, the character is a big asshole. I tried very hard to bring that part of me forward.” “The Prom” was written by Chad Beguelin, Bob Martin and Matthew Sklar. Murphy directed the film from an adapted script by Martin and Beguelin. Netflix will release “The Prom” on December 11. Check out the first look photos below.
