Netflix's The Prom, Jo Ellen Pellman and Ariana DeBose, on Their Own High School Experience and Prom

Описание: Jo Ellen Pellman and Ariana DeBose from the star-studded new Netflix film “The Prom" play the leads of this heartwarming musical film based on the award-winning Broadway show alongside megastars Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, James Corden, Kerry Washington, Keegan Michael Key, and more! The Ryan Murphy-directed film premiering on December 11th is bound to be a hit--after all, who doesn’t love a young lesbian love story in the midwest tangled with a couple of has-been Broadway narcissists!?

They talk about what it was like to work with such a mega cast of actors they’ve looked up to their entire lives before Jo Ellen tells a very touching story of meeting Meryl Streep for the first time, and Ariana explains her experiences with Kerry Washington. They both celebrate how much fun the making of the film was in general and what they hope audiences will take away from it.

Jo Ellen and Ariana tell us a bit about their own proms, what it was like for them coming to terms with their own sexual identities in high school, how Ariana danced with her female crush, and Jo Ellen’s positive experiences at her progressive high school. The actors explain what it was like to work on such an inclusive musical and how different it was than their real-life proms before talking about their favorite high school classes, their favorite music, movies, fashion trends, crushes, and snacks as teens before discussing their hopes for this amazing film. They discuss a future where coming out doesn’t have to be such a big deal and how they think this film will help with that idyllic future.
