The Prom tells the story of Emma (Pellman), who makes national news when her high school cancels her prom rather than let her attend with her girlfriend (DeBose). At the same time, a bumbling group of Broadway stars (Streep, Corden, Kidman, and Rannells) discover her story and sense a chance to correct an injustice, while trying to get some publicity along the way.
