EVERYONE
DESERVES A CHANCE TO CELEBRATE.
Synopsis
Dee Dee Allen (three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep)
and Barry Glickman (Tony Award winnerJames Corden) are New York
City stage stars with a crisis on their hands: their expensive
new Broadway show is a major flop that has suddenly flatlined
their careers. Meanwhile, in small-town Indiana, high school
student Emma Nolan (newcomer Jo Ellen Pellman) is experiencing
a very different kind of heartbreak: despite the support of
the high school principal (Keegan-Michael Key), the head of
the PTA (Kerry Washington) has banned her from attending the
prom with her girlfriend, Alyssa (Ariana DeBose). When Dee Dee
and Barry decide that Emma's predicament is the perfect cause
to help resurrect their public images, they hit the road with
Angie (Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman) and Trent (Andrew
Rannells), another pair of cynical actors looking for a professional
lift. But when their self-absorbed celebrity activism unexpectedly
backfires, the foursome find their own lives upended as they
rally to give Emma a night where she can truly celebrate who
she is.
