When a troupe of Broadway stars hear the news, they are determined to bring about social justice and head to Emma's rescue.

The movie adaptation stars Meryl Streep as Dee Dee Allen, James Corden as Barry Glickman, Nicole Kidman as Angie Dickinson, Kerry Washington as Mrs Greene, Keegan-Michael Key as Principal Tom Hawkins, Andrew Rannells as Trent Oliver, and with Ariana DeBose as Alyssa Greene and Jo Ellen Pellman as Emma.
