Matt Henry joins Vanessa Williams in The Devil Wears Prada
Posted on
There's a scale. One nod is good, two nods is very good. There's only been one actual smile on record and that was Tom Ford in 2001… Until today. Olivier award winner **Matt Henry** is joining the boardroom at Runway, and its news that would make Miranda Priestly positively beam!
Give him a full ballerina skirt, and a hint of saloon, because Henry will be playing the iconic Nigel in the upcoming musical. Made famous by **Stanley Tucci** in the 2006 blockbuster, Nigel is one of Runway magazine's leading fashion authorities, and is a close confidant to the infamous Miranda Priestly.
Best known for his award-winning performance of Lola in *Kinky Boots*, Henry knows a thing or two about fashion. Commenting on today’s announcement, he gushed “Having been a huge fan of the film, a passion for fashion and the fact that the role of Nigel is iconic, what’s not to love about joining the cast of *[The Devil Wears Prada The Musical](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/the-devil-wears-prada-tickets)*?! Being able to draw inspiration and pay homage to the leading black men in the fashion industry, such as the amazing **Edward Enninful** and the late **André Leon Talley** is what truly excites me about taking on this incredible role.”
In addition to his starring role in Kinky Boots, Henry has also performed in the multi award-winning West End productions of *Avenue Q* and *Saturday Night Fever*. Most recently, he could be seen in the West End original cast of *The Drifters Girl* alongside **Beverley Knight**. A finalist in the 2013 series of *The Voice*, Henry was awarded an MBE for services to musical theatre four years later.
He joins the previously announced, **Vanessa Williams***,* best known for her celebrated roles in *Ugly Betty* and *Desperate Housewives* and as a multi-award-winning singer*,* as the irrepressible Miranda Priestly.
The Devil Wears Prada, features an all-star, award-winning creative team led by **Elton John** (*The Lion King*), new direction & choreography by **Jerry Mitchell** (*Legally Blonde*), lyrics by singer-songwriter **Shaina Taub** (*Suffs*), book by **Kate Wetherhead** (*Ever After*), set design by **Tim Hatley** (*Back to the Future*), costume design by **Gregg Barnes** (*Some Like It Hot*), lighting design by **Bruno Poet** (*The Tina Turner Musical*), and sound design by **Gareth Owen** (*Come From Away*).
Further casting will be announced shortly.
