The Prom: All Emma wants is the chance to attend her high school’s prom with her girlfriend by her side, but the PTA believes only heterosexual couples should be allowed, so they cancel the dance in protest. Outraged when the news breaks, an ensemble of endearingly self-obsessed, down-on-their-luck theater stars decide to descend upon Emma’s small, conservative Indiana town and help take up her cause. Originally a Broadway show (and loosely based on a true story), Netflix’s recent film adaptation is a musical masterpiece featuring a brilliant cast of talented newcomers and some of Hollywood’s biggest names (Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Keegan-Michael Key, Andrew Rannells). The Prom reminds us all of the importance of kindness and inclusivity, staying true to ourselves, and fighting back against bigotry. Watching this movie is guaranteed to make you laugh, smile, cry, and dance along to the fantastic soundtrack, which is full of catchy tunes and incredible performances! Available on Netflix.
