Meryl Streep | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Netflix will be bringing a lot of joy to audiences this December with the movie musical The Prom, based on the Broadway show of the same name.

The star-studded cast for the film includes Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, James Corden, Andrew Rannells, Keegan-Michael Key, Kerry Washington, Ariana DeBose, and newcomer Jo Ellen Pellman.

Here is the synopsis: Dee Dee Allen (Streep) and Barry Glickman (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 (Pellman) is experiencing a very different kind of heartbreak: despite the support of the high school principal (Key), the head of the PTA (Washington) has banned her from attending the prom with her girlfriend, Alyssa (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 (Kidman) and Trent (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.

The Prom will be released on Netflix on December 11!

Patti LuPone is sharing her thoughts on the iconic performance of “The Ladies Who Lunch” during the Sondheim birthday celebration last weekend.

The two-time Tony-winning actress has been performing the song in the Broadway musical Company and now she doesn’t know if she’s going to be able to sing it ever again.

Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, and Audra McDonald sang the number while celebrating composer Stephen Sondheim‘s birthday and Patti joked that they “trashed the number.”

“When it was over, I went, ‘I’ll never be able to sing ‘Ladies Who Lunch’ again!’” Patti said in an interview with PrideSource. “I don’t think they set the bar – I think they trashed the number!”

The reporter then asked, “They set the bar for trashing the number?”

Patti responded, “Yeah, exactly! That’s what I think! I mean, I say that with great humor, but I’m not going to be able to sing it without thinking of them doing it. (Laughs.) This is all joke, by the way! This is all humor!”

So many stars got together for the Stephen Sondheim 90th Birthday concert, “Take Me To The World: A Sondheim 90th Birthday Celebration.” The concert was a fundraiser for ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty), and one of the highlights of the evening was when Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, and Audra McDonald chose to sing one of Sondheim’s iconic classics, “Ladies Who Lunch,” from the hit musical Company.

We’ve embedded the entire concert below, but if you want to watch this one performance, skip to 1:58:34.

Here’s something you probably didn’t know, because we didn’t either… Meryl Streep and David Strathairn‘s kids got married. But, now they’re getting divorced.

The two beloved actors starred in the movie The River Wild and their kids first met on the set back in 1993.

Meryl‘s daughter Grace Gummer and David‘s son Tay Strathairn secretly tied the knot after they started dating in 2017.

While it was never publicly revealed that Grace and Tay had gotten married, TMZ is reporting that she filed for divorce on Monday (March 22) in Los Angeles Superior Court.

You might recognize Grace for her roles on Mr. Robot, The Newsroom, and American Horror Story.
