The Devil Wears Prada issues West End casting update

The Devil Wears Prada musical has announced a casting update for its West End premiere production at the Dominion Theatre.

Featuring a score by Elton John and Shaina Taub (Suffs), a book by Kate Wetherhead (Burlesque the Musical), and direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots), the piece had its UK premiere last year in Plymouth.

It follows Andy as she lands a job at a fashion magazine under the demanding Miranda Priestly. As she sacrifices her personal life for success, she questions if it’s worth it.

The production features set design by Tim Hatley (Back to the Future), costume design by Gregg Barnes (Legally Blonde), lighting design by Bruno Poet (Tina – The Tina Turner Musical), sound design by Gareth Owen (& Juliet) and casting by WhatsOnStage Award winner Jill Green.

From 27 March, Jamie Bogyo will take over the role of Andy’s long-term boyfriend Nate for a limited season, while current cast member Rhys Whitfield goes on an agreed leave of absence.

Debbie Kurup will also continue as standby Miranda Priestly.
