Our unruly hearts are bursting after watching the latest trailer for The Prom, coming to Netflix December 11. Check it out above—including a sneak peek at newcomer Jo Ellen Pellman singing, along with show-stopping moments from Meryl Streep, James Corden, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Andrew Rannells, Keegan-Michael Key, and Ariana DeBose.
After the teaser trailer was released in October focused on the "Zazz" of it all, the new trailer dives more into the plot itself: a group of out-of-work Broadway performers come to a small Indiana town to help a girl who's barred from bringing her girlfriend to the prom.
