The musical focuses on the experiences of an Indiana lesbian teenager who wants to bring her girlfriend to her school's big dance. Instead, they're banned from attending as a couple, prompting a cast of Broadway eccentrics to descend on the teens' small-town home to help fight the injustice.
Actor Streep is set to play the role of a two-time Tony winner Dee Dee Allen and James Corden will play Barry Glickman. The film also stars Awkwafina, Ariana Grande, Keegan-Michael Key, and Andrew Rannells. Murphy is adapting the Broadway show as the first movie project announced under his Netflix deal.
