The Devil Wears Prada (musical)

The Devil Wears Prada is a musical adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name and the subsequent 2006 film. The musical follows Andy Sachs, a recent college graduate who lands a job as a junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, the demanding and powerful editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. The story explores Andy's journey as she navigates the cutthroat world of high fashion, grapples with moral compromises, and ultimately questions her own values and ambitions.

The musical features music by Elton John, lyrics by Shaina Taub, and a book by Kate Wetherhead. Early workshops and pre-Broadway tryouts were held in Chicago in 2022. Directed by Anna D. Shapiro, the original cast included Taylor Iman Jones as Andy Sachs and Beth Leavel as Miranda Priestly.

The musical production seeks to capture the essence of the original story, highlighting themes of ambition, self-discovery, and the pressures of the fashion industry. It is noted for its musical score, contemporary take on the source material, and exploration of the complicated dynamic between Andy and Miranda.
