Based on the 2006 film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, The Devil Wears Prada is about aspiring writer Andy Sachs, who takes a job as assistant to the formidable and terrifying Miranda Priestley, editor-in-chief of leading fashion magazine Runway. A complete fish out of water in the cutthroat world of New York fashion, Andy struggles to impress her nightmarish boss and cope with Miranda's increasingly impossible demands at the cost of her relationship and career dreams.

The musical opened in the West End in December 2024 and quickly became the fastest-selling show in the Dominion Theatre's history. It has an award-winning creative team led by Elton John (Billy Elliot: The Musical, The Lion King), new direction & choreography by Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde, Pretty Woman, Hairspray), lyrics by singer-songwriter Shaina Taub (Suffs) and Mark Sonnenblick (Theatre Camp), book by Kate Wetherhead (Ever After, Submissions Only), set design by Tim Hatley (Life of Pi, Back to the Future), costume design by Gregg Barnes (Some Like It Hot, Legally Blonde), lighting design by Bruno Poet (The Tina Turner Musical, Frankenstein), sound design by Gareth Owen (Come From Away, & Juliet) and casting by Jill Green CDG.

Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives) plays the fashionable ice queen Miranda Priestley, while Matt Henry (Kinky Boots, The Drifters Girl) plays Runway's flamboyant Creative Fashion Director, Nigel. Both will finish their tenures this autumn, with Williams' last performance set for Saturday 19 September and Henry's for Saturday 17 October.

The rest of the cast includes Stevie Doc (winner of ITV’s Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream) as the fish-out-of-water Andy, with Taila Halford (Shucked; School of Rock) as Miranda’s fiery and fashion-forward first assistant Emily, and Keelan McAuley (Clueless; Heathers) as Andy’s boyfriend Nate, and Dominic Andersen (Heathers; The Rocky Horror Picture Show) as the devious journalist, Christian.
