Interview: Jo Ellen Pellman and Ariana DeBose of ‘The Prom’ [VIDEO]
Ariana Debose and Jo Ellen Pellman dazzle in Ryan Murphy’s on-screen adaptation of the Broadway hit The Prom, which is out today, December 11, on Netflix.
The Prom tells the story of a small-town Indiana high school student Emma Nolan (newcomer Jo Ellen Pellman) is experiencing a very different kind of heartbreak: the PTA has banned her from attending the prom with her girlfriend. Enter Dee Dee Allen (three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep) and Barry Glickman (Tony Award winner James 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.
We were lucky enough to get a few minutes with these two talented young actresses who are destined for a meteoric rise in 2021. Here’s that conversation.
