Vanessa Williams has signed on to continue as The Devil Wears Prada’s imperious Miranda Priestley at the Dominion Theatre until October this year.
The Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives star will continue in the role until October 18, 2025, having first played the character during exclusive previews in Plymouth last summer and then in the West End at the end of last year.
Williams will continue to be joined on stage by Matt Henry (Kinky Boots) as Runway magazine’s creative fashion director Nigel, Georgie Buckland (Shrek The Musical) as the driven Andy, Amy Di Bartolomeo (SIX) as Miranda’s icy first assistant Emily and James Darch (Mamma Mia!) as the devious journalist Christian.
From Thursday, March 27 for a limited season, Jamie Bogyo (Moulin Rouge!) will star as Andy’s long-term boyfriend, Nate.
Fresh out of college, aspiring journalist Andy scores a job at the prestigious Runway magazine working for fashion’s most powerful and terrifying icon — editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly. Sacrificing her personal life to meet Miranda’s impossible demands, Andy finds herself seduced by the glamorous world she once despised. How far will she go to succeed… and will it be worth selling her soul to get what she’s always wanted?
