TV: Why Broadway is Getting Behind THE PROM on Stage and Screen!

Ryan Murphy was making it clear that last night belonged to The Prom. The six-time Emmy Award winner Ryan Murphy hosted a special performance of the hit show to benefit Hetrick Martin, GLAAD and The Trevor Project, and the performance was followed by an equally special curtain call announcement.

The Glee creator will adapt the hit musical into a film event for Netflix, with the help of creators Casey Nicholaw, Bob Martin, Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin. The adaptation will be the first project in Murphy's deal with Netflix.

Of the adaptation Murphy explained: "THE PROM is one of the most uplifting, heartfelt and special musicals I have ever seen on Broadway. It's truly an original that celebrates the underdog and says in a loving spectacular way that LGBTQ rights are human rights."

Below, watch as Murphy's very special guests, who included Glenn Close, Casey Cott, Matthew Morrison, Gus Kentworthy and so many more, explain what the touching show meant to them and why they can't wait for the big adaptation!
