The Devil Wears Prada Tickets

The Devil Wears Prada waltzed onto the West End catwalk in October 2024 and instantly became a hit, captivating fans of the iconic film as well as newcomers unfamiliar with its haute couture world. The musical follows Andy, who lands a job at one of the most prestigious fashion magazines and must navigate a world filled with glitz, glamour, and Chanel. Whether you're already obsessed or just discovering this dazzling show, read on to meet the characters who are truly dressing to impress in this fashionable phenomenon.

Miranda Priestly

Miranda Priestly. That’s all. This fashion powerhouse could intimidate even the most confident with her icy exterior and unapologetic diva attitude. As the formidable editor-in-chief of Runway, Miranda is the ultimate fashionable puppet master, pulling strings, shaping careers, and controlling the fashion world with a single glance. Her influence is pivotal in Andy’s transformation and rise in the industry. Taking on the iconic role in the West End production is the legendary Vanessa Williams, whose acclaimed career spans both Broadway and the West End.

Andy

Andy enters the world of fashion with little expectation of the whirlwind she’s about to face. Her innocence and naivety are quickly disrupted as she becomes hungry for the journalism career she's fighting for. Slowly, the world around her and the people (and handbags) in it begin to influence her, changing the life she once knew. Her relationship with her boss, Miranda, shifts over time from struggling to understand this new world to ultimately becoming one of Miranda’s biggest allies.

It may have been Vanessa Williams' birthday this week, but she is treating us to the best gift we could hope for - she will be continuing her role as Miranda Priestly until 18 October 2025! This extension follows the show's remarkable success, having become the fastest-selling production in the history of the Dominion Theatre.

In celebration of this milestone, the production is hosting a special "Florals for Spring" gala night, playfully nodding to Miranda Priestly's iconic line. This event promises an evening of elegance and style, fit for the cover of Runway magazine. In December of last year, the show officially opened with a special gala night which raised over £750,000 for the Elton John AIDS Foundation - and was attended by guests including Anna Wintour, Donatella Versace, Lily Collins, Edward Enninful, Bob Geldof, Graham Norton, Zandra Rhodes, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Elizabeth Hurley, and many more.

The Devil Wears Prada Musical, featuring music composed by Elton John, brings to life the story of Andy Sachs (Georgie Buckland), an aspiring journalist who lands a job at the prestigious Runway magazine. Under the demanding eye of editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, Andy navigates the glamorous yet challenging world of fashion, discovering the personal costs of success and ambition.

Never before have we witnessed such a collision of the West End and the world of high fashion, as when The Devil Wears Prada strutted onto the Dominion stage. With powerhouse creative forces behind it - including Elton John composing the score - expectations for the cast of this West End premiere are as sky-high as Miranda Priestly’s demands.

The casting for this musical has sparked major excitement since its announcement. Read on to meet the cast who are bringing the beloved movie and its infamously stylish characters onto the West End stage, one runway-worthy number at a time.

Who plays Miranda Priestly in the West End cast? 

Vanessa Williams takes on the infamous Miranda Priestly in perhaps one of the most iconic casting decisions in West End history. With stage and screen accolades to her name including an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, what makes this casting especially apt is the fact that she portrayed one of television’s most fashionable villains of all time as Wilhelmina Slater (Ugly Betty). We can think of no-one better suited to step into Meryl Streep's stilettos as the ultimate diva.

Who plays Andy in the West End cast? 

Georgie Buckland plays our ambitious and awkwardly loveable protagonist, Andy Sachs. Buckland was part of the original cast of Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks national tour, and has previously played Gingy in the UK and Ireland tour of Shrek the Musical. This role marks her West End debut, and what better way to make a West End entrance than to take on Anne Hathaway’s beloved Andy?

Who plays Emily in the West End cast? 

Amy Di Bartolomeo plays the hilariously judgemental and blunt (pun intended) Emily. Having previously performed as Catherine of Aragon in SIX (West End), Di Bartolomeo is no stranger to exuding unapologetic sass. She was also part of the UK tour of We Will Rock You as Meat, world premiere of Bat Out of Hell and played Mirela in For Tonight in the West End.

Gird your loins, following phenomenal demand The Devil Wears Prada will be extending its run at the Dominion Theatre until 18th October 2025!

Featuring “irresistible songs” (Evening Standard) by Elton John and a “terrific” (Time Out) performance from Vanessa Williams in the iconic role of Miranda Priestly, the new musical based on the blockbuster film and bestselling novel is “a model example of reinvention done right” (London Theatre Direct) and “a devil of a good time” (Daily Express).

Strutting alongside Vanessa are Georgie Buckland in an “eye-catching West End debut” (The i) as Andy, and Amy Di Bartolomeo as a “comic delight” (Metro) in the role of Emily, while Olivier Award-winner Matt Henry gives an “endearing and soulful” (Time Out) performance as Nigel.

You may be reading this with the misguided assumption that, because I am the star of the show, I would somehow be an ‘unreliable critic.’ Just like the rise of cowboy boots and cropped waistcoats, you are wrong. For who is more qualified to give an accurate assessment of the production, than someone who is an expert on the regurgitated material?

The 2024 musical, based on the 2006 film, based on the 2003 book, is based on my life! My word has far more authority than the theatre luvvies I found myself surrounded by. Who I would just like to take a minute to address -  just like your self-satisfied musings, the black sequin jackets you wear will never feature in Runway, or even Vogue. Please stop trying to ‘make it happen’, the plastic shining discs are quite distracting and offensive on the eye. Mercifully, I had Emily as a human shield. Her hideous bulky cardigan and heavy skirt blocked out the glare from the gaudy outerwear, and my sight was saved.

I used my unencumbered vision to cast an exacting eye on the offering presented to me. Housed in the Dominion Theatre, a quaint two thousand seat auditorium in the heart of the West End (which is to say the fringes of, as the heart is located on the left of the chest, not the dead centre) the originally titled The Devil Wears Prada the Musical officially had its grand opening. I was prepared to be wowed…

The musical opens with ‘Emily’ wading through the crowd to address the M&S-clad theatregoers. She sarcastically asks them if they have taken enough photos of the set, and berates those who are even thinking about opening sweets during the performance, however slowly. I couldn’t be more proud. I only wish the real Emily was as commanding as Miss Di Bartolomeo. 

Once my fellow audience members were rightly put in their place, and the smuggled snacks were coyly returned to their (one can only hope ‘free’) tote bags, the lights were dimmed and the musical began. What followed was a spectacle so thrilling, so engaging, so fabulous, that it rather reminded me of someone… me. And what could be higher praise than that?

The little black dress, created by CoCo Channel in 1926, has been a wardrobe must-have for almost 100 years. The simple staple has undergone countless transformations, alterations and adaptations to fit in with the modern woman’s wants and needs. An ever evolving art form, fashion takes inspiration from the past to propel itself forward, enthralling and exciting its audience in the process. The Devil Wears Prada Musical is a model example of reinvention done right.

Since its announcement in A/W 2023, The Devil Wears Prada Musical has been hotly tipped to be this season's must-see show, with tickets to the production flying off the (virtual shelves) faster than 2010’s Mulberry Alexa. And, much like the leather satchel, we can’t see this expertly crafted musical going out of fashion any time soon. It has the makings of a classic. 

Starring Grammy nominee Vanessa Williams, alongside Olivier winner Matt Henry and Six royalty’s, Amy Di Bartolomeo.The fashion-forward musical has more stars than London Fashion Weeks FROW. And they shine more brightly than a Karen Millen Stretch Sequin Maxi Dress. 

Vanessa Williams' grand entrance (elegantly rising from the depths of the Dominion Theatre to command centre stage) earned the longest, and loudest, round of applause I have ever experienced at the theatre. And it was well-earned. Since her first highly-anticipated appearance on stage, appearing fully formed and exactly where she needs to be, to her last, she demands attention. She doesn’t need a designer wardrobe and sequined ball gown to achieve this (though of course, she is decked in the most beautifully couture costumes designed by her friend and celebrity stylist, Pamella Roland), but she does so with a quiet authority. 

Can you feel the lust tonight? 77 year-old singer, songwriter and pianist, Elton John, shamelessly flirts with moderator, Matt Hemley in front of husband David Furnish at The Devil Wears Prada launch.

Elton John has been smashing barriers and taboo subjects with a diamante baseball bat since 1975, so he’s no stranger to shocking audiences. The EGOT winner and Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer has been at the forefront of the avant garde, wearing couture dresses long before Harry Styles graced the cover of Vogue in a Gucci floor length number.

We’re only halfway through, but 2024 has already been a fantastic year for theatre! We’ve been treated to incredible Broadway transfers; Mean Girls, Hadestown and Slave Play, 5-star revivals (that both happen to be fans of commas and womens names); Hello, Dolly! and Kiss Me, Kate, and we also welcomed back the multi award-winning medical dramas People, Places and Things and Next To Normal. And that was just in the first seven months! 

And it doesn’t end there! We still have plenty of shows to look forward to in the latter half of the year. From a 430 year old play to two brand-new musicals, there’s something for everyone. So settle down, and read up on the best theatre shows to see in 2024. 

The 39 Steps

The acclaimed comedic adaptation, transforms Alfred Hitchcock's a classic spy thriller into a fast-paced farce. Unlike the film, the show stars just four actors, who hilariously portray over 130 characters between them. 

The story follows the protagonist, Richard Hannay, who becomes embroiled in a spy conspiracy after a mysterious woman is murdered in his apartment. He embarks on a thrilling adventure across Britain to clear his name and uncover the secret of ‘The 39 Steps.’

The classic comedy has received numerous accolades, including an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, and two Tony Awards during its Broadway run. So you’re going to want to pick the best seats when you watch it!

Already booked tickets for The 39 Steps, and looking for something else to tickle your funny bones? We’ve handpicked the best comedy shows in the West End.

Why Am I So Single?

Rulers of the West End, Marlow and Moss, have teamed up once more to create a brand new musical! The Six the Musical creators show follows the lonely little lives of two BFFs as they drink/eat/cry/laugh their way through (perpetual) singledom. The BFFs also happen to be creators of musical theatre, but Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss would rather you didn’t read too much into that…

Celebrating love in all its forms, the all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza focuses on mates as well as (lack of) dates. And is perfect for those who are single, looking, or happily partnered. 

Marlow and Moss were included in Time magazine's ‘Time 100 Next List’, and share a Tony Award for Best Original Score, so you know you’re going to want to swipe right on their latest project. We’ll even help you pick the best seats!

Waiting for Godot

Starring Emmy winner Ben Whishaw (Paddington) and BAFTA winner Lucian Msamati (Game of Thrones), you know it’s going to be worth the wait!

A landmark of modern theatre, Waiting for Godot is routinely hailed as one of the greatest plays of the 20th century. The play features two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait endlessly and in vain for someone named Godot. Throughout their vigil, they engage in a variety of conversations and meet other people, but is the titular character among them?

An existential masterpiece renowned for its exploration of the meaning of life and the passage of time, Waiting for Godot premiered in 1953 and went on to win Best Play at the Tony and Evening Standard Awards.

Waiting for Godot isn’t the only award winning play currently showing in the West End, take a look at our favourite plays currently running in the capital. 

The Duchess

Speaking of waiting, Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) finally returns to the West End stage after a decade long absence! Zinnie Harris’ critically acclaimed ‘towering adaptation’ (The Stage) of The Duchess of Malfi, will see Whittaker regenerate from Doctor to Duchess. 

A potent blend of horror, beauty, and tragedy, a recently widowed woman defies social expectations, and her family's wishes, when she remarries beneath her. Driven by insurmountable greed and rage, the Duchess’s brothers unleash a series of cruel and devastating punishments against her that repress her power. But will their vicious atrocities come back to haunt them?

The Duchess of Malfi is one of the most frequently performed works of Jacobean drama, and had a huge influence on the  gothic literature created at the time. The latest adaptation is already proving to be just as successful, so don't miss your chance to see it when The Duchess holds court at the Trafalgar Theatre for a strictly limited run. We’ll even help you pick the best seats.

The Devil Wears Prada

Adapting a cult noughties film into a star-studded musical? Groundbreaking. 

You probably know the story from the Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt lead movie, or from the Lauren Weisberger novel of which the film was based. If you missed it the first time round - perhaps you were attending an ugly skirt convention - let us get you up to speed.  Aspiring journalist, Andy Sachs, lands a job as an assistant to the demanding Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of the high-fashion magazine ‘Runway.’ As Andy navigates the cutthroat world of fashion, she struggles to maintain her personal relationships and sense of identity.

Former Miss America and current diva, Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives) stars as the formidable Miranda Priestly, with music legend, Elton John, providing the original score. We already know you want a ticket, but do you know where to sit? Like a loyal assistant, we’ve picked out the best seats at the Dominion Theatre to help you decide.
