Vanessa Williams has extended her reign of terror as Miranda Priestly in the West End's The Devil Wears Prada musical through October 18 at London's Dominion Theatre.
The musical, which officially opened December 5, 2024, is currently scheduled to continue through January 3, 2026, with casting following Williams' run to be announced. See what critics had to say about the movie-turned-musical, directed and choreographed by Tony winner Jerry Mitchell, here.
The musical, which premiered in Chicago in 2022 with a different creative team and cast, features music by Elton John, lyrics by two-time Tony winner Shaina Taub (Suffs), and a book by Kate Wetherhead. This West End run was preceded by a try-out at Theatre Royal Plymouth last year.
Williams leads the cast as the ruthless Miranda Priestly, sharing the stage with Georgie Buckland as Andy, Amy Di Bartolomeo (SIX: The Musical) as Emily, James Darch as Christian, and Olivier winner Matt Henry as Nigel.

Based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger and its 2006 film adaptation, The Devil Wears Prada follows aspiring fashion journalist Andy Sachs.

Mitchell's creative team includes scenic designer Tim Hatley, costume designer Gregg Barnes, lighting designer Bruno Poet, sound designer Gareth Owen, and hair, wig, and makeup designer Campbell Young Associates. Casting is by Jill Green. Orchestrations and arrangements are by music supervisor Tom Deering, and Katharine Woolley is music director. Giles Martin serves as music executive.
Kevin McCollum and Rocket Entertainment's David Furnish produce after working on the Chicago world premiere. Joining for the U.K. bow is Jamie Wilson. They present by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.
