Ryan Murphy is set to direct a film adaptation of one of this year’s Tony nominated musicals, The Prom. Murphy will also produce with Alexis Woodall, Bill Damaschke, and Dori Berinstein. The script is being adapted by book writers Bob Martin and Chad Beguelin. Casting has just been announced, which includes Meryl Streep as Dede Allen, James Corden as Barry Glickman, Nicole Kidman as Angie Dickinson, Andrew Rannells as Trent Oliver, Ariana Grande as Alyssa Greene, Awkwafina as Ms. Sheldon, and Keegan-Michael Key as Principal Hawkins. Though a nationwide search led by casting director Alexa Fogel is on to fill the role of Emma Nolan. Principal photography is set to begin in December for a fall 2020 awards season release in theaters before it hits Netflix.

Most of the cast I understand but why would Nicole Kidman take a supporting part that isn’t even that big? They must have offered her a lot of money.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Meryl, but she has plenty of roles out there.
Well, since this is a musical, Ryan Murphy obviously needed someone who is capable (especially musically) to pull off a role like Dede Allen.

I guess they’re submitting Meryl Streep in Best Actress and Nicole Kidman in Supporting Actress. Honestly I feel neither is really fit for a musical.

She did a short-lived Broadway musical back in 1977 titled Happy End, as well as several movie musicals like Mamma Mia! and Into the Woods (for which she received one of her many Oscar nominations).

In the Woods was a poor delivery. I mean she’s done great in other movies. But musicals isn’t really her thing. I’m not sure about Kidman either. I think Ariana’s voice really fits musical, but her role is too minor to make an impact on the success of the movie.

If you’ve seen The Prom, Nicole Kidman’s part is actually not that small. It’s probably the same or a little bigger than her supporting part in Lion.
