RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. It's prom season, and one student in Arizona is going to great lengths to convince the girl of his dreams to be his date. Seventeen-year-old Jacob Staudenmaier re-created the opening scene from the movie "La La Land" and used the song to ask the actress Emma Stone to prom.

MARTIN: No word yet on whether the actress has responded, but dream big, Jacob. Dream big. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
