De musicalverfilming The Prom van Glee-bedenker Ryan Murphy met Meryl Streep en Nicole Kidman is vanaf 11 december te zien op Netflix en ondertussen staan de eerste reacties van de pers online.

Was surprised by how much I loved the Broadway musical The Prom; so was Ryan Murphy, who made a quick round of calls to the stars he wanted to work with and landed Meryl Streep & Nicole Kidman, who shine in this entertaining, escapist @netflix diversion. Multiple Globes for sure!

#TheProm: Maybe it works better on-stage?

As is plays like a VERY LONG Glee episode. Jo Ellen Pellman is good but can't say much about her because all the kids are in service to the A-listers who are so annoying.

Every element of Ryan Murphy’s THE PROM is so inflated & exaggerated. All of the dialogue feels like an emotionally manipulative wink at the camera. Disguised as an exuberant joy, it desperately wants you to love it but its inconsistent tone, performances & pacing held me back. pic.twitter.com/3R0p1g2Bec

'The Prom' is just pure joy. A welcoming entry into a year that has seen its fair share of tragedy, it's great to see a film exude so much positivity. The cast is collectively outstanding and standouts are Jo Ellen Pellman, Ariana DeBose and Keegan-Michael Key. Loved it. #TheProm pic.twitter.com/5k4xmAE2A2

Meryl Streep singing “It’s not About me” is the greatest gift she has given us since “The Winner Takes it All.” Y’all aren’t ready for this triumphant performance. @promnetflix #theProm pic.twitter.com/Q56JYapw4U

Really liked #TheProm. A gorgeous and vibrant production. Streep is hilarious and commanding. Keegan-Michael Key is dreamy. Kidman, Rannells and Washington are fun. Ariana DeBose is winsome. But it's Jo Ellen Pellman who has my heart in a wonderful, star-making turn.

The Prom is the best stage to screen musical adaptation in years. A feel great musical extravaganza that is exactly what the world needs in 2020. Wholly entertaining, hilarious, touching, & very relevant. #TheProm is brilliantly cast with terrific performances across the board. pic.twitter.com/ZCaX2PaoiR

I liked The Prom! I am pretty sure not everyone will feel the same way, but I thought it was a fairly straightforward adaptation of a musical I also liked. While it lacks a bit of the show's bite, it remains cute and often quite funny, and obviously I cried, but also I'm easy.

There’s something heartbreaking about watching #TheProm, a musical about the affirmative power of theatre, at precisely the time when we’re being denied it. But wonderful to see actors, all of whose careers were forged on the stage & whom I’ve seen in the theatre, celebrating it. pic.twitter.com/vChuQeO6hz
