The Devil Wears Prada Musical at London’s Dominion Theatre brings the fashion, humour and familiar characters from the film to the West End, with original music by Elton John.
As someone who already loved the film, I was especially excited to see Vanessa Williams as Miranda Priestly. She brought sharp humour, authority and icy elegance to the role, completely owning the stage whenever she appeared. The cast changes over time, but this review reflects the production and performers I personally saw.
If you are wondering how the musical compares with the film and whether it is worth booking, here is my honest experience.
My Honest Review of The Devil Wears Prada Musical
I genuinely enjoyed the experience, although it did not completely blow me away as a musical. The production is stylish, energetic and easy to watch, with impressive costumes and plenty of familiar moments for fans of the film.
For me, the enjoyment came from seeing a story I already loved brought to life on stage. The music, choreography and humour created a fun West End evening, even if not every song stayed with me afterwards. Sometimes a show does not need to reinvent the story to be entertaining, and this production gave me plenty of moments that made me smile.
How Does the Musical Compare With the Film?
The musical follows the familiar story of Andy Sachs entering the demanding world of Runway magazine and working for the intimidating Miranda Priestly. Fans of the film will recognise the characters, fashion and workplace drama, but the songs and choreography give the stage production its own energy.
The costumes are a major highlight and help make the production feel glamorous and theatrical. I also enjoyed seeing Andy’s transformation and Miranda’s commanding presence unfold live on stage. If you already love the film, the familiarity is part of the fun. If you have never watched it, the story is still easy to follow.
