The official description of The Prom on IMDb goes like this, “A troupe of hilariously self-obsessed theater stars swarms into a small conservative Indiana town in support of a high school girl who wants to take her girlfriend to the prom.” Dee Dee Allen and Barry Glickman, after a failed musical, receive critical reviews which indicated that their acting has come to an end. But they need to find a way to get back to their field showing a social cause, and they take the help of Angie Dickinson and Trent Oliver and plan to help Emma Nolan with her prom night and asking her girlfriend for the same. The plot thus promises a lot of surprises and a fun, emotional ride for the audience.

Upon the official announcement of the film, Ryan Murphy shared a few words,

“The Prom is one of the most uplifting, heartfelt and special musicals I have ever seen on Broadway. It’s truly an original that celebrates the underdog and says in a loving spectacular way that LGBTQ rights are human rights. I feel a special connection to it because it’s set in Indiana, and that’s where I grew up, too.”
