Ryan Murphy’s glitzy adaptation of the Broadway musical smash about love and acceptance in a small Indiana town. Q&A to follow.
When an Indiana high school student is denied bringing her girlfriend to prom, her story grabs the attention of three self-centered Broadway veterans (Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, James Corden) looking for a cause. This star-studded musical comedy, based on the Tony-nominated Broadway hit, follows their hilarious and heartwarming attempts to advocate for inclusivity in a small, conservative town, ultimately uniting a community in celebration of love and acceptance. [130 min; musical, comedy; English]
A virtual Q&A with Chad Beguelin, co-writer and lyricist of the Broadway version of The Prom, and Spencer Pride President Jonathan Balash will follow the screening.
"An expanded but mostly faithful reimagining that maintains the bones of its stage-bound architecture while also deepening some of its more sensitive moments." — John Paul King, Washington Blade
"The movie as a whole is playfully silly and sweet, with an uplifting message and bags of heart." — Jason Best, Marie Claire
"A joyous, thoroughly uplifting movie musical where the dialogue scenes pop just as much as the song and dance numbers sizzle." — James Kleinmann, The Queer Review
