What’s Coming to Netflix in December, Including “The Prom’ and ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’

Leave it to director Ryan Murphy to nab “The Prom,” adapted by Chad Beguelin and Bob Martin from their Broadway musical. It’s a clash between big-ego theater people and a girl in the Midwest, who just wants to take her girlfriend to the prom. The feelgood show on Netflix stars Meryl Streep, James Colden, Nicole Kidman, Keegan-Michael Key and Kerry Washington.

Another musical number, “Ma Rainey’s Black Black Bottom,” stars Viola Davis as the great jazz singer and Chadwick Boseman as her guitarist with issues — musical and emotional. Set against the backdrop of a Chicago recording studio in 1927.
