Never before have we witnessed such a collision of the West End and the world of high fashion, as when The Devil Wears Prada strutted onto the Dominion stage. With powerhouse creative forces behind it - including Elton John composing the score - expectations for the cast of this West End premiere are as sky-high as Miranda Priestly’s demands.
The casting for this musical sparked major excitement since its announcement. Read on to meet the cast who are bringing the beloved movie and its famously stylish characters onto the West End stage, one runway-worthy number at a time.
Who plays Miranda Priestly in the West End The Devil Wears Prada cast?
Vanessa Williams takes on the infamous Miranda Priestly in perhaps one of the most iconic casting decisions in West End history. With stage and screen accolades to her name including an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, what makes this casting especially apt is the fact that she portrayed one of television’s most fashionable villains of all time as Wilhelmina Slater (Ugly Betty). We can think of no-one better suited to step into Meryl Streep's stilettos as the ultimate diva.
**Who plays Andy in the West End The Devil Wears Prada cast? **
Stevie Doc, who trained at Arts Educational Schools and won Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream (ITV), plays Andy, with theatre credits including Sophie in Mamma Mia! (Novello) and Here We Go Again (Cadogan Hall).
Who plays Emily in the West End The Devil Wears Prada cast?
Taila Halford, trained at Emil Dale Academy (BA Hons Musical Theatre), plays Emily in her West End debut, with theatre credits including Shucked (Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre), School of Rock (international tour) and Cats, and recording credits on the Kin: A New Musical concept album.
Who plays Nigel in the West End The Devil Wears Prada cast?
Matt Henry takes on the fiercely loyal, wittily sardonic Nigel. Best known for his Olivier Award-winning performance of Lola in Kinky Boots (West End), it’s no secret Henry can deliver an excellent one-liner. A Grammy-nominated singer, he was also a finalist of The Voice in 2013, and has since performed in a wealth of critically-acclaimed musicals, including Saturday Night Fever, Avenue Q and most recently, Drifter Girls.
Who plays Christian in the West End The Devil Wears Prada cast?
James Darch plays the charming, sleazy Christian. Darch previously played Sky in Mamma Mia (West End), and played Fiyero in the 10th anniversary cast of Wicked. He has also performed in various UK tours, including The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Cats and Titanic.
Who plays Nate in the West End The Devil Wears Prada cast?
Keelan McAuley, a Guildford School of Acting graduate from Calgary, Canada, Nate, Andy’s boyfriend, who many Devil Wears Prada fans over the years have considered the true “devil” of the story! His West End credits including Clueless: The Musical (Josh, original cast at the Trafalgar Theatre) and Heathers: The Musical (Jason “J.D.” Dean, Soho Place and UK tour), plus roles on Royal Caribbean productions including Grease and Columbus.
