Get ready to sing, because Ariana Grande and Meryl Streep are set to appear in an upcoming Netflix musical film!
The two stars will reportedly be part of Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of the Tony-nominated stage musical The Prom.
According to Deadline, the cast will also include James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Awkwafina, Keegan-Michael Key and Andrew Rannells.
Here’s the rundown from Deadline:
"In Prom, Streep will play Dee Dee Allen, a two-time Tony winner who teams with Corden’s Barry Glickman in a flop musical about Eleanor Roosevelt. After career-ending reviews, they decide — along with Broadway babies Kidman as Angie Dickinson and Rannells (Book of Mormon) as Trent Oliver — to champion a cause to rehabilitate their careers. They find one in Emma, a high school senior in Indiana who isn’t allowed to take her girlfriend to the prom. A nationwide search led by casting director Alexa Fogel is on to fill the role of Emma.
"Grande will star as Alyssa, a popular daughter of the head of the PTA. Awkwafina will play the group’s publicist Ms. Sheldon, and Key will play Streep’s love interest and Emma’s ally, Principal Hawkins."
Here’s a little teaser of what the Broadway musical is like on stage:
Filming is expected to begin at the end of 2019, for a mid-2020 release.
