Attention “feel good movie” on Netflix this Friday!

The musical 

The Prom

 first enjoyed a Broadway triumph before becoming a vitamin movie.

Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and James Corden play actors in need of publicity who mobilize to help a young lesbian banned from her high school ball because she wanted to go there with her girlfriend.

After seeing #TheProm: I really wanted to listen to the songs on repeat (but you have to wait until December 11 ...) and to shout my love for musicals on the roofs.

“I saw the show in 2019 and I felt at home, explained Ryan Murphy during a virtual press conference that brought together the team of

The Prom at the

 end of November.

This musical rediscovers the charm of traditional Broadway shows while saying things that are important for our time.

We need the optimism that a film like this brings today.

The emotions follow one another when the young Alyssa (played the talented debutante Jo Ellen Pellman) is humiliated by the parents' advice led by the mother of her lover (a Kerry Washington whom we love to hate as a mother stiff in her Puritan convictions. ).

Well dance now

There is not a gram of preaching in

The Prom

that gives pride of place to galvanizing musical numbers.

See Meryl Streep defend the colors of her protege in music in the schoolyard, James Corden revamp the girl in song and Nicole Kidman cheer her up on a sensual choreography that acts as an antidepressant.

“Whatever your worries, seeing people dancing and singing brings immediate relief,” says Meryl Streep.

This

musical

 is designed to make you smile.

The original, more raw play has even been softened so the whole family can see the movie.

A summer camp

All of them worked like brutes to achieve perfection in song and dance, making the most of six weeks of rehearsals.

“It was a bit like a summer camp where we bonded and everyone supported each other,” recalls Ryan Murphy.

This complicity appears vividly on the screen.

It is one of the charms of

The Prom

to be inclusive in every sense of the word.

The viewer feels accepted in this world which celebrates love and friendship with overflowing generosity.

"I am proud to have been able to convince these actresses and these actors to accept my invitation to dance", recognizes Ryan Murphy.

The spectator emerges from

The Prom's

invigorated ball
