Hello, Beautiful Souls,
If you’re anything like me and The Devil Wears Prada holds a special place in your heart, then you simply must add the new Devil Wears Prada musical to your London bucket list! Now playing in the heart of the West End, this musical adaptation has all the glamour, wit, and high-fashion drama that made the movie a classic — and there’s one extra special reason why I couldn’t wait to see it… Vanessa Williams as the iconic Miranda Priestly.
As soon as I heard the news that Vanessa Williams would be stepping into those fierce heels, I knew this was going to be an experience I couldn’t miss. And let me tell you, she does not disappoint. Her portrayal of Miranda is sharp, commanding, and full of the icy elegance we’ve come to expect from the character. It’s a masterclass in fierce poise and biting sarcasm, and she completely owns the stage. If you’re a fan of hers (and who isn’t?!), you’ll understand why this casting choice is nothing short of perfect.
Now, while it’s not going to be winning any “best musical” awards in the West End anytime soon, I have to say, as a musical lover, I truly enjoyed the experience. The story, the costumes, and the high-energy performances were all so fun, even if it didn’t blow me away in every way. But here’s the thing — sometimes, it’s not about the glitz and the grandeur; it’s about the moments that make you smile, tap your feet, and feel that connection to a beloved story. This musical delivered that in spades.
The show is packed with all the fashion-forward drama of the original movie, and seeing the beloved characters — including the always-bubbly Andy Sachs and the ever-aloof Miranda — come to life on stage with catchy songs and vibrant choreography was worth it. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the film or a newcomer to the world of Runway, there’s something undeniably fun about seeing it all unfold in front of you.
The best part? The show will run until January 3rd, 2026, so there’s plenty of time to catch it while you’re in London. If you’re a fan of The Devil Wears Prada, Andy, the Runway, or the legendary Vanessa Williams, trust me when I say this is a must-see.
Grab your tickets and enjoy the show!
