This actually happened in real life. I read an article where the school lied about the Prom location and gave the girl the wring address with a fake prom where she was the only one
I agree with you that "Love Thy Neighbor" was an amazing number! After seeing the movie and the Broadway musical, I feel like that song was the only one that was even remotely comparable to the Broadway musical
With The Prom, this is one of my favorite musicals ever, and to be honest, the movie does not really do it justice. I highly recommend listening to the original broadway cast recording, and looking at clips from the actual musical, it’s amazing!
Emma wore a tux at the end because a tux was originally what she wanted to wear to the prom as she says earlier (her personal style really isn't dresses) and also as a fuck you to the PTA saying girls have to wear dresses. This musical was inspired by a true story of a girl who wanted to go to prom with her girlfriend, wearing a tux and the prom was cancelled in the same way as this
Never doubt Nicole again! Please watch 'Moulin Rouge' and i promise you'll thank me(for recommending this masterpiece). And Nicole's mom (for bringing a treasure into the world). And God(for giving her the pipes of a goddess). In other words you won't regret it. Can't wait for the next one 👏😘💓
My high school music techer is a lesbian and she lived in indiana and she left there because she was a lesbian and the situation was exactly like the prom (The musical) also are school is doing the prom for the musical this year and I'm in it. :)
I love Meryl but I'm not fully loving this performance, I'm tired of seeing James Corden in every musical movie, the actress who plays Emma is good but she just keeps smiling even in serious moments, Ariana Debose and Andrew Rannells were perfect, you should listen to the Broadway cast recording, hopefully one day you get to see the show live, it's a whole different vibe and you'll love it
I agree that the prom isn’t the best or even close to being the best musical. I like it because it gives me a lot of nostalgia. My freshman year of high school it was on Broadway and my drama club went to see it. We got to speak with one of the ensemble members after the show and even ran into Lin Manuel Miranda who was leaving the theater after seeing the same showing as us. Since then, my friends and I have been DYING to be in the prom ourselves. When the movie came out we were ecstatic. And in a couple of days, there’s auditions for the prom in my hometown for a theater program, and me and my friends are auditioning. This show means so much to me. Even though it’s not that good, it was the beginning of my love for theater. I grew up with theater and was always interested in it. Both of my parents had gone to college for theater, tho neither of them really used their degrees. My stepdad would do lighting for my middle school and high school shows. But as I got older and my schools started having a drama program, I fell in love. I’m currently in college now, and even tho I’m not going for theater, theater is still a huge part of my life. Just this past spring I got my first ever lead in a musical. I can’t attribute my initial love of theater with the prom, but it definitely stoked the fire and kept it burning long enough to get me where I am today.
I went to school with the girl that played Emma. I woke up one day and I had a TH-cam notification saying she was on the late night show with James Cordan and I was like wait what?
23:26 i think their intentions changed from only thinking about themselves from the very beginning to genuinely wanting to help and that they care about emma, so their intentions changed but they went about helping her in a way that emma didn’t like. if that made sense
@@EvaSofie i guess it’s because i’m just used to the songs from the broadway cast album and hearing them being sung and performed live. i guess it just sounds different to me
He's not a good fit in anything. Ever noticed how every film he was in was a flop? He was even in a small bit of "Yesterday" and that film didn't do as well as hoped.
If you want to see more theatre, Team Starkid does full length musicals and posts them free on youtube! They’re most known for their Harry Potter parody musicals. But they have some completely original stuff too! :)
I loved the movie but... The broadway version is waaaay better... -Especially because of the full version of "You Happened", and Barry being played by the living legend that is Brooks Ashmanskas-
After a few rewatches I understand why some people don’t like James corden’s performance, I’m not a big fan of it myself but I will say he definitely seemed to have a lot of passion for and fun doing this film. I will also say the fact that he’s a straight man playing a gay man is the least of my concerns. It’s just that because of Barry being a stereotypical flamboyant gay man, it unintentionally and inadvertently comes across as offensive.
Have you watched Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997)? I think it is like the best version of Cinderella and one of the best princess movies out there. Fabulous cast, great music, and both hilarious and beautiful costumes.
Rebecca the accent James Corden tried to do was a gay accent. If Rayan Murphy casted an actual actor who had a gay accent at the age about 50 that had decent acting, would've been more better for the musical and yes I've seen the original musical it was fantastic but the Netflix version also did a very good job with it, accept that Rayan keeps on cutting off songs from the original musical and it makes it feel like the story is more about Dee Alian and Berry with their problems instead of the story to be about Emma and her struggles with homophobic people in this High School.
They are all really good. It's James Corden who is not I'm comfortable to watch with in this movie. The broadway version is still better than the movie but I'm sure with this movie, there will be new audience for The Prom when they come back for regional tour 🎉
I really loved this movie. Well, I didn't hear about this movie at first. But, I do know that Nico Greetham, the same guy who played Calvin, the Ninja Steel Yellow Ranger from Power Rangers Ninja Steel and Super Ninja Steel is in this film. And so has the former Disney stars, Nathaniel J. Potvin and Kevin Chamberlain is also in this film. I'm also excited that Ariana Debose is going to be in the upcoming Disney movie, Wish in honor of Disney's 100th year! *_cheers_* And I hate the squealing microphone feedback! It drives me crazy! *_CRAZY!_* Sorry. Sorry. And Logan Riley Hassel is in this film also, because I saw her on the Fuller House episode, "Fast Times at Bayview High".
I’m a bit late, and I haven’t checked your channel, but if you like Andrew ranells voice (Trent) he’s in a musical called falsettos (IF YOU DIDNT ALREADY KNOW)
This movie has a stacked cast I mean, James Corden, Meryl Street, Ariana DeBose. I also Hate that The Grown ups canceled Prom cause That One student was gay. We stand LGBTQ People.❤ 3:19 Me. I was shocked to see That Actor.
Please don't get mad at me but, James Corden really wasn't as bad as you guys think. He was properly playing the role of Barry. if you've ever seen The Prom live or in a bootleg, you'd be able to see that Barry is just played like that. he wasn't being stereotypical, he was being true to the character. While I don't like that Netflix didn't get a gay man to play Barry, I'm not that mad about James Corden's execution of the character. Again, please don't get mad at me. Its just my opinion :)
i saw the broadway show and when it was revealed she was at a fake prom my stomach seriously dropped. also the musical is amazing and while there are a few good performances in the movie (can't wait to see ariana debose in literally everything!!) it really doesn't compare
Dairy ice cream is just as unethical as mack makeup testing on animals. They are both animal exploitation and abuse. I have eaten a tub of plant-based ice cream and it's an amazing experience! lol
this film disappointed me. It had some great ideas, great cast and so much potential but the direction and the editing just.... eek, didn't flow well and the music wasn't memorable enough to excuse it, like in Greatest Showman. BUT speaking of Nicole Kidman and musicals, if you haven't seen Moulin Rouge, that should definitely be on the list. Her and Ewan McGreggor's voices in that are killer
this film would've been better if they... idk had fleshed out the relaationship between emma and alyssa more like. they had barely any scenes and not really that much chemistry bc we knew basically nothing about them as a couple.
This actually happened in real life. I read an article where the school lied about the Prom location and gave the girl the wring address with a fake prom where she was the only one
Holy crud! That's TERRIBLE! 😡
That's disgusting oml
So sorry to hear what happenend.

Alternative title: Meryl Streep serenading the gays for 2 hours.

I’m tempted!! ✨
@@rxbeccarose do it!! Every single actor is so incredibly talented, and the broadway show focuses a lot more on Emma and Alyssa’s relationship 😍😍
Emma wore a tux at the end because a tux was originally what she wanted to wear to the prom as she says earlier (her personal style really isn't dresses) and also as a fuck you to the PTA saying girls have to wear dresses. This musical was inspired by a true story of a girl who wanted to go to prom with her girlfriend, wearing a tux and the prom was cancelled in the same way as this

YES 😭

You need to watch Moulin Rouge in order to hear Nicole really sing ... oh and Ewan Mcgregor in his prime time as well
In my movie marathon watchlist and top 5 fav movies 💜
Can Nicole Kidman sing?
Me: ...Moulin Rouge
I really thought the actress was Amy Adams, but then I watched it again just recently and realized it was Nicole Kidman. I was shook.
I’m in love with your outfits!!! They are are always so good ❤️🤍
Aww tysm legend ✨🦋
Honestly, The Prom is one of my favourite movies and stage musicals. It just means a lot to me.
My high school music techer is a lesbian and she lived in indiana and she left there because she was a lesbian and the situation was exactly like the prom (The musical) also are school is doing the prom for the musical this year and I'm in it. :)

Budget Betty and Look-Alike Lily had me dying 😂
I always eat a full pint of ice cream by myself. It's such an indulgent way to exist, literally just fuels my isolationism, I def recommend.
I went to school with the girl that played Emma. I woke up one day and I had a TH-cam notification saying she was on the late night show with James Cordan and I was like wait what?
I’m just here for Meryl.
23:26 i think their intentions changed from only thinking about themselves from the very beginning to genuinely wanting to help and that they care about emma, so their intentions changed but they went about helping her in a way that emma didn’t like. if that made sense
also the songs in the movie are so underwhelming!! the broadway cast recording songs are so much more energetic and upbeat!!!
@@michaelahewitt-clarke3779 The movie songs are plenty upbeat, and technically, how could they not be with a fuller orchestra?
@@EvaSofie i guess it’s because i’m just used to the songs from the broadway cast album and hearing them being sung and performed live. i guess it just sounds different to me
Let’s be honest, James Corden wasn’t a good fit for this role or movie.
Literally 😭
It might just be because I haven’t seen the actual thing on Broadway but I thought he was great!
I actually think he wasnt bad. But I mean he wasnt great
I thought James did a fantastic job in this role people need to stop comparing the musical cast to the movie cast
He's not a good fit in anything.
Ever noticed how every film he was in was a flop?
He was even in a small bit of "Yesterday" and that film didn't do as well as hoped.

When I had a tub of ice cream by myself I was crying and watching Jessie so it was a vibe
I loved the movie but... The broadway version is waaaay better... -Especially because of the full version of "You Happened", and Barry being played by the living legend that is Brooks Ashmanskas-
I personally prefer the Broadway stage musical but this isn’t the absolute worst movie musical adaptation to exist imo
11:36 MY FAVORITE SONG! :)
You should watch Hollywood on Netflix by Ryan Murphy it’s really good 😌
Love Thy Neighbour is the best song in the whole show tbh. I actually enjoyed this film a lot and didnt hate James as much as I expected.
I just watched this movie like 4 days ago or something. I LOVE that your reactions are the same to mine.
YES LEGEND I’m glad to know we share similar reactions!! Sometimes I’m worried that my reactions are off or no one will relate to them 😅✨
You should do into the woods! Loved this video btw
Love thy neighbor is amazing and Andrew Rannells is god that's all I need to say here
I know I’m late to watching this video but I think this movie would’ve been improved at lease 80% if James Corden and Kevin Chamberlin switched roles
After a few rewatches I understand why some people don’t like James corden’s performance, I’m not a big fan of it myself but I will say he definitely seemed to have a lot of passion for and fun doing this film. I will also say the fact that he’s a straight man playing a gay man is the least of my concerns. It’s just that because of Barry being a stereotypical flamboyant gay man, it unintentionally and inadvertently comes across as offensive.
13:40 This broke me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Also I'm kind of annoyed that they let James who isn't gay play a gay character. Just cast a real gay person

My point exactly. The character is based on a stereotype. Maybe we should be criticising that.
I loved this movie
12:37 I hate that they cut the song right there, but they have the audio on Spotify
i saw the broadway show and when it was revealed she was at a fake prom my stomach seriously dropped. also the musical is amazing and while there are a few good performances in the movie (can't wait to see ariana debose in literally everything!!) it really doesn't compare
for like half the movie i thought james corden was meant to be irish lmao the accent was so weird
RIGHT
What do you used to record the movies
I love the song they played while credits 🤣 but it was really good.
4:26 ANDY RANNELLSSSS
I know I haven’t watched this movie but am I still gonna watch this yes
