Based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel and the hit 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical follows aspiring journalist Andy as she lands a coveted job at prestigious fashion magazine Runway, working for the demanding and intimidating Miranda Priestly. As Andy is drawn into the glamorous world of high fashion, she must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice in pursuit of success.

Featuring music by Oscar winner Elton John, lyrics by Tony winner Shaina Taub and Oscar winner Mark Sonnenblick, and a book by Kate Wetherhead, the musical is directed and choreographed by Tony winner Jerry Mitchell. The creative team also includes set designer Tim Hatley, costume designer Gregg Barnes, lighting designer Bruno Poet, sound designer Gareth Owen and casting director Jill Green.

After opening at Theatre Royal Plymouth in 2024, the production transferred to the Dominion Theatre, where it became the venue’s fastest-selling show. It is currently booking until 6 February 2027.
