Golden Globe-winning actor Teri Hatcher is joining the West End cast of The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical.
The Desperate Housewives star will be playing the iconic role of Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, from October 20, 2026 to February 7, 2027. She will be taking over from Vanessa Williams, who leaves the production on September 19. Debbie Kurup will be playing the role in the interim.
Speaking about her new venture, Teri shared her excitement on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, echoing how supportive Vanessa has been in the process. “From the first time it came up my first call was to Vanessa, we’ve been friends since the 90s and I was like, “what do you think?” and she said, “I’ve been talking to them about you for a year, you should do it, you’ll have so much fun!” so that was kind of the beginning and it’s a really lovely example of the support of women within the business and she’s just been so incredibly generous and supportive.”
While Teri is best known for her roles in Desperate Housewives and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, she is no stranger to musical theatre either. She has played a number of iconic roles including Sally Bowles in the national tour of Sam Mendes’ revival of Cabaret, and Morticia Addams in The Addams Family.
Based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel and the 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical follows journalist Andy Sachs who secures a job at the highly coveted Runway magazine, under the strict eye of Miranda Priestly. It features music by Elton John and is produced by Kevin McCollum, David Furnish and Jamie Wilson.
The musical originally ran at Theatre Royal Plymouth in summer 2024 before opening at the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End in December 2024. The production has since sold more than 1.2 million tickets to date and is due to reach its 800th performance on September 23. The musical is currently booking at the Dominion until September 25, 2027.
