Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman will once again be joining each other on screen in Ryan Murphy's
00:04
upcoming movie version of the Broadway musical The Prom for Netflix. The Hollywood Reporter has
00:09
confirmed that the film adaptation of the musical will have a star-studded cast that also includes
00:14
Awkwafina, James Corden, Keegan-Michael Key, and Andrew Rannells. Streep is set to play the
00:19
character of two-time Tony winner Dee Dee Allen. Corden will play Barry Glickman, both of whom see
00:24
their play on Eleanor Roosevelt bashed by the New York Times. And Kidman will take on the role of
00:28
Angie Dickinson, a veteran chorus girl. Now, all three of these actors have movie musical
00:33
experience, from Streep portraying Donna in Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia 2.
00:37
She wanted to make her mom proud. If she hasn't done that all her life.
00:40
To Corden's turn as the baker in Into the Woods.
00:45
It's because of you there's a giant in our midst.
00:48
To Kidman's iconic performance in Moulin Rouge.
00:50
I believe you were expecting me.
00:57
Elsewhere, Rannells will play Trent Oliver, an actor down on his luck. Key will serve as
01:02
the romantic interest for Dee Dee Allen. And Awkwafina will play a publicist named Miss
01:06
Sheldon. How do all these characters fit together? Well, the prom dance is around the
01:10
relationship between an Indiana teenager who wants to bring her girlfriend to her school's
01:14
big dance. Instead, they're banned from attending, only to see a cast of Broadway
01:18
eccentrics band together to help fight the injustice. Murphy is adapting the Broadway show as the
01:23
first movie project announced under his new Netflix deal. For more on this story, head to THR.com.

Until next time, for The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.
