Chicago got the ball rolling. Then it was followed by the dismal Nine and the disastrous
Into The Woods. Marshall s next project? The live-action
The Little Mermaid.
Now Ryan Murphy, who shares Marshall s initials, as well as his taste for bombast and Meryl Streep, has entered the fray with his big screen version of the Tony-nominated 2018 musical
The Prom (Netflix). Murphy s love of musicals and theatrics can be traced back to his inexplicably popular network TV series

The Normal Heart proved he had the talent for transferring stage to screen.

But some wonky casting choices and an overly long running time might make you check the other “What’s new on Netflix” offerings during its lengthy second half.
