  • The Prom is a big celebration

  • With laughs and music and dancing.

  • It's about being your most authentic

  • and letting you shine.

  • Every moment is so good!

  • I got a call from Ryan Murphy

  • and he told me about this incredible project.

  • And he said, "you get to be Meryl Streep's nemesis."

  • (laughs)

  • And I was like, "I'm in!"

  • Ryan Murphy is like, "We're making a movie of The Prom."

  • "It'll be you and Meryl Streep

  • and Nicole Kidman and James Corden."

  • Guys!

  • Angie!

  • I was like, "what?!" I felt like I was having a fever dream.

  • Ohhh! (fainting in chair)

  • But it was true.

  • Oh my god!

  • It is the most other worldly fantastical experience

  • working with my heroes.

  • (singing) It's time to build a prom!

  • The energy that was poured into making this movie

  • it was incredible.

  • This is unbelievable!

  • We had so much fun and freedom and it's just fantastic.

  • It's so joyful.

  • La-la!

  • It felt like I was with an old group of friends.

  • It felt incredibly easy in their company.

  • Putting the show together was a joy.

  • To hear all of the actors say,

  • "This is the move fun I've had in a really long time"

  • makes me really happy because

  • we've created something that everybody wants to do.

  • We would go hide in a hallway

  • and be like (snaps fingers) "5, 6, 7, 8"

  • None of us were dancers.

  • So we were all struggling at the same level.

  • That was really fun.

  • I want everybody to know,

  • there was no stunt dancing. Like that was all Meryl.

  • Meryl Streep singing a song called "It's Not About Me,"

  • when it is so completely about her

  • is one of the funnest things I've ever watched.

  • It was such a beautiful expression of joy.

  • it's almost like there's something magical about it.

  • it's almost like there's something magical about it. I think it kind of changed my life actually.

  • I think it kind of changed my life actually.

  • (singing) One thing's universal...

  • This film does it all so perfectly. I was really blown away.

  • You get all the fireworks, you get all the flare.

  • But inside of that it's a movie about a person

  • being allowed to be who she is.

  • (singing) Go big...

  • What I think is so great about our movie is that

  • anyone can watch this

  • and feel accepted and engrossed in the story.

  • This is a story for everyone.

  • Now that you found your zazz,

  • it's time to show it to the world!

  • (singing) To us!

The Prom is a big celebration
