The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical is produced in the West End by Kevin McCollum, David Furnish, and Jamie Wilson. The cast recording is produced and mixed by Giles Martin, with the Elton John Original demos produced by Matt Still and Kim Bullard.
Elton John says: “The subject matter of The Devil Wears Prada absolutely screams out for music. It’s been one of my favourite films of the last 20 years, so when the conversation came up about me writing the music for the stage version, it was an absolute no-brainer. I’m always looking forward, never backwards, so it absolutely had to be a modern, contemporary score. The best musicals leave people with a joyous feeling, and that’s completely how I felt writing this. ‘It has been wonderful to see the response & success of the stage show and hearing the fantastic reactions to the songs.”
The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical, has been a smash hit since its West End debut, becoming the fastest selling show in the Dominion Theatre’s history. The musical, based on Lauren Weisberger’s best-selling 2003 novel and the 2006 blockbuster film from Twentieth Century Studios, tells an inspiring story about discovering what kind of person you truly want to be.
If you can’t get enough of all things The Devil Wears Prada, a movie sequel is officially in the works, starring original cast members Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt.
