Ryan Murphy has cast his upcoming Netflix movie The Prom, an adaptation of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical, with an all-star ensemble.
Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Awkwafina, James Corden, Ariana Grande, Keegan-Michael Key and Andrew Rannells are among the A-listers bringing The Prom to screens.
The Prom tells the story of a lesbian student in the fictional conservative town of Edgewater, Indiana, who wants to bring her girlfriend to her school’s dance.
When the two are banned from attending, a cast of Broadway luminaries band together to fight the injustice.
It’s the first movie project announced under Murphy’s Netflix deal.
“The Prom,” an original concept by Jack Viertel, received six Tony Award nominations, including one for best musical.
It’s set to end its Broadway run on Aug. 11.
