Published on 7 July 2026
- Vanessa Williams and Matt Henry originated the roles of Miranda and Nigel in the UK and West End production of The Devil Wears Prada Musical
- After two years in their respected roles, the pair have announced their final performance dates.
- The Devil Wears Prada Musical is currently booking until 6 February 2027.
Two of The Devil Wears Prada Musical's original stars have confirmed when they'll be strutting out of the musical.
After leading the production since its UK premiere in 2024, Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives) will be stepping down as Runway’s editor in chief on 19 September 2026. Ever the loyal friend, Miranda’s number 2 Nigel (played by Matt Henry) will also be following in Williams’ Valentino footsteps, leaving the musical on 17 October 2026.
We know that a million actors would kill for the roles Williams and Henry have left, but it is currently unconfirmed who will be the lucky two taking over.
Based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel and the hit 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada Musical follows aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Stevie Doc), whose life is turned upside down when she lands a job as assistant to fashion's most feared editor, Miranda Priestly (currently Vanessa Williams). Drawn into the glamorous, high-pressure world of Runway magazine, Andy soon discovers that success comes with a price, forcing her to question how much she's willing to sacrifice for the career of her dreams.
The current cast stars Stevie Doc (MAMMA MIA!) as ambitious journalist Andy Sachs, Taila Halford (Shucked) as Francophile Emily, Keelan McAuley (Clueless the Musical) as Andy's boyfriend Nate and Dominic Andersen (Heathers) as playboy photographer Christian, alongside an ensemble comprising Gabby Antrobus, Georgia Aspinall, Anta Bah, Selena Barron, Evonnee Bentley-Holder, Pamela Blair, Jenna Bonner, Xenoa Campbell-Ledgister, Lloyd Davies, Jinny Gold, Selina Hamilton, Kimberley Hoyle, Luke Jackson, Emma Johnson, Justin-Lee Jones, Debbie Kurup, Mark Lamb, Ethan Le Phong, Brandon Lee Sears, Nathan Lorainey-Dineen, Dean Makowski-Clayton, Shannon Molloy, Eleanor Peach, Joshua Robinson, Joshua Steel, Kayleigh Thadani, Harry Tunningley, Alex Woodward and Tara Yasmin.
Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, the musical features music by Elton John, lyrics by Shaina Taub and Mark Sonnenblick, and a book by Kate Wetherhead.
Following its West End transfer, The Devil Wears Prada Musical became the Dominion Theatre's fastest-selling production. The show is currently booking through to 6 February 2027.
