First teaser for "The Prom"

Netflix has released its first teaser for Ryan Murphy's upcoming screen adaptation of the Broadway musical, The Prom.


Wow, Meryl looks amazing (physically, like she looks fit and pretty). I'm getting a strong High School Musical meets Mamma Mia! feel from this. Like so much of Ryan Murphy's stuff, especially recently, the set design and costumes are VERY colorful, which I enjoy. 

It's hard enough for me to be objective about Meryl's stuff regardless, much less the first time seeing teasers like this. I'll have to watch it a few more times to get a good read. It looks like a fun, uplifting movie, which we could all use a little of right now. And I know we can't, or at least shouldn't try to gauge awards or critics predictions from one trailer, but I don't expect this to go any further than the Globes. I'm happy to be wrong about that! 

Netflix will release the movie to its streaming platform on Dec 11.

    Surprised at how little they actually sing in the trailer...the ensemble is the focus but wish we had heard her belt! I know it is only a teaser...can't wait for Meryl (who looks stunning) to blow us all away.

      Good point re the singing. But I think it was officially a "teaser" so maybe they'll include more of that in the "official" trailer.

      And yes, Meryl looks stunning.

    Very impressed! The only thing which would have been hilarious is if those were Meryl's real awards she slammed on the counter, a la Miranda Priestly!

    She looks terrific and the movie looks fun. High hopes :)

      OMG can you imagine if they had been her real award?! Sadly she has no Tonys.

      I know, you know how I feel about Meryl's possibilities on stage :(

      I realise her character is meant to be mainly a big Broadway star and therefore it would make no sense for Meryl to slam down two of her MANY other awards..

      Would be hilarious to see her three Oscars make an appearance though!

      Speaking of Miranda Priestly, I have encountered a few tweets saying that Miranda and Dee Dee could be twins!
