Netflix Teases New Film Adaptation of Broadway Musical ‘The Prom’
Coming soon; a new Netflix film filled with A-list actors and LGBTQ+ representation, and music.
Netflix has just released an official teaser trailer for a star-studded musical. The two-minute video gives us a glance at the film’s storyline, characters, and musical numbers.
The Prom is a fairly new Broadway musical by Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, which premiered in 2016. The musical became popular among critics and audience members, and it was nominated for 7 Tony Awards.
In 2019, the musical was made into a young adult novel, in which the author Saundra Mitchell worked with the creators of the Broadway show. This year, Netflix will be releasing its film adaptation.
