Based on Lauren Weisberger's novel and the subsequent film, The Devil Wears Prada has a score by Elton John (music) and Shaina Taub (lyrics), book by Kate Wetherhead, direction by Anna D. Shapiro, choreography by James Alsop, and music supervision by Nadia DiGiallonardo.
The Chicago production is being billed as a pre-Broadway engagement, though no Broadway dates have yet been set.
After that – who knows! Fingers crossed it will sail over to London in style.
