The Prom follows a group of out-of-work Broadway performers who come to a small Indiana town to help a girl who's barred from bringing her girlfriend to the prom—and by doing so, revive their own careers. Directed by Ryan Murphy and based on the Tony-nominated musical from Chad Beguelin, Bob Martin, and Matthew Sklar, the film hews close to the stage production, with the entire original score intact. A soundtrack for the Netflix movie was released December 4.
