Hollywood veteran Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman revive the spirit of show business in cinema as well as theater through a tale of tolerance and lots of glitter in Netflix's upcoming film The Prom.

Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman are ones to look forward to as they're both known for essaying impactful characters.

Apart from Streep and Kidman, the cast includes Emmy winner James Corden, Andrew Rannells, Ariana DeBose and newcomer Jo Ellen Pellman. It is bankrolled by Ryan Murphy Productions.
