Posted on
“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” If those words are forever etched in your brain (or if you still shiver at the sound of “That’s all”) then the next must-have accessory for your shelf is almost here. [*The Devil Wears Prada*](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/the-devil-wears-prada-tickets) is releasing its [original cast recording](https://dwprada.lnk.to/DWPCastalbum) on CD, digital and LP from 19 September via Island EMI. To tide fans over in the meantime, the first single, [*Miranda Girl*](https://dwprada.lnk.to/Mirandagirl), sung by **Georgie Buckland** as Andy, is already out along with a brand new music video.
Since opening at the [Dominion Theatre](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/dominion-theatre-london) last year, the West End production has broken box office records and continues to sell out night after night. Now, audiences can take [the music](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/news/the-devil-wears-prada-songs) home, with all 18 tracks from **Elton John**’s score performed by the original West End cast; **Vanessa Williams** as Miranda, **Matt Henry MBE** as Nigel, Georgie Buckland as Andy, **Amy Di Bartolomeo** as Emily, **Rhys Whitfield** as Nate and **James Darch** as Christian. Adding extra sparkle, the album also features two never-before-heard Elton John demos - *I Mean Business* and *The Devil Wears Prada* - the early blueprints that shaped the show. A 12-track LP edition will also be available.
Elton John, who composed the score with lyrics by **Shaina Taub** and **Mark Sonnenblick**, has said the subject matter “absolutely screams out for music.” His contemporary sound, paired with **Jerry Mitchel**l’s direction and choreography ([*Kinky Boots*](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/kinky-boots-tickets)), **Kate Wetherhead**’s book, and an award-winning creative team, has given the fashion-fuelled tale a fresh theatrical edge.
Based on **Lauren Weisberger**’s bestselling novel and the hit 2006 film that grossed $326 million worldwide and earned two Oscar nominations, the musical captures the wit, glamour and bite of its source material. Like the perfect outfit, it blends timeless lines with bold new choices; proving that in fashion, as in theatre, what’s right for you will always be in style.
