Devil Wears Prada

Dominion Theatre - 2nd Anniversary on the West End - With the Alzheimers Society

Last Wednesday we celebrated 'The Devil Wears Prada' Musical's 2nd year on the West End, whilst also welcoming the new cast!

This musical has captured many hearts and sits on every theatre girly's musical theatre playlist. The incredible music by Elton John, the book by Kate Wetherhead and most importantly, the costumes by Gregg Barnes perfectly bring the iconic film to the stage. This Musical is quite the work of art when it comes to adapting movies to musicals. Don't get me wrong, there are many different films adapted into musicals, but this is one done well. You can definitely tell the music has Elton John's stamp. It's no wonder it's done so well at the Dominion Theatre for the last two years. It was sad to see Vanessa Williams, who previously played 'Miranda ', leave the role. However, we welcome a new era, from one Desperate Housewives star to another.

We welcomed Teri Hatcher to the role of 'Miranda ', and what a surprise this casting was! She has a new way of portraying the role and shows Miranda's dry sense of humour well. It's quite the change-up! The dynamic I will always adore is the relationship between Nigel and Miranda; Nigel is played by Matt Henry. Hatcher and Henry have settled well into their on-stage bond; Henry is the perfect right-hand man. Talia Halford's reign as 'Emily' is still going strong. Every time you see her play this role, it is a delight, and her vocals get stronger and stronger. She has put quite the stamp on the role. Of course, we also welcomed our new Andy, played by Jenna Bonner, a huge voice and gorgeous casting. So many new faces and different perspectives on our favourite characters.

If you haven't seen 'The Devil Wears Prada the Musical', then now is the perfect time, or if you have seen it... SEE IT AGAIN! It's like watching it for the first time with these new cast members. Losing Matt Henry as Nigel would be too much heartbreak; he honestly is a standout in the role, and he creates so much emotion in the audience. The role just feels like it belongs to him; he has the crown! If you love Elton John, The Devil Wears Prada movie, then this is worth the watch. Especially if this is your first show dipping your toes into the world of musicals.
