Here’s a synopsis: Dee Dee Allen (Streep) and Barry Glickman (Corden) are New York City stage stars with a crisis on their hands: their expensive new Broadway show is a major flop that has suddenly flatlined their careers. Meanwhile, in small-town Indiana, high school student Emma Nolan (Pellman) is experiencing a very different kind of heartbreak: despite the support of the high school principal (Key), the head of the PTA (Washington) has banned her from attending the prom with her girlfriend, Alyssa (DeBose).
When Dee Dee and Barry decide that Emma’s predicament is the perfect cause to help resurrect their public images, they hit the road with Angie (Kidman) and Trent (Rannells), another pair of cynical actors looking for a professional lift. But when their self-absorbed celebrity activism unexpectedly backfires, the foursome find their own lives upended as they rally to give Emma a night where she can truly celebrate who she is.
The Prom, produced and directed by Ryan Murphy, will premiere on Netflix and in select theaters on December 11th!
The group will take part in a new episode of Stars in the House, hosted by Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley, which raises money for The Actors Fund’s COVID-19 efforts.
Since the first Stars in the House episode on March 16, the series has raised in over $130,000 to benefit The Actors Fund.
The Jessie cast will appear on the show on April 10th at 2 PM. Get the details on starsinthehouse.com.
One Jessie fan actually asked Kevin Chamberlin, who played butler Bertram, to her prom and got some major help from his co-star Peyton List.
When the fan asked Kevin to her prom, she asked just how many RT’s on social she would need to make it happen and he gave them to her — 100,000 RTs and 500,000 likes — AND IT HAPPENED!
Right now, the Twitter post has over 183,000 RTs and 543,000 likes!
“come through @kevinchamberlin,” Peyton shared on her Twitter, with other fans saying the prom date probably wouldn’t happen — but don’t doubt Kevin.
“Should I wear a classic black tie tux or go retro with top hat and tails?” “I should probably coordinate with you. What color is your dress?” were two of the questions Kevin asked his prom date.
“So proud of you uncle Kev. Go see our Bertram in #Disaster! Funny and refreshing, definitely a must see!” Cameron wrote on Instagram after the show with a sweet pic of the quartet.
