The Devil Wears Prada Is Coming to Broadway!
Get ready, Manhattan - The Devil Wears Prada is set to bring its high-fashion, high-stakes drama to Broadway, and the buzz is already building. With music by Sir Elton John, lyrics by Shaina Taub and Mark Sonnenblick, and a sharp new book by Kate Wetherhead, this is a Broadway transfer fans of the iconic film and the smash-hit West End run have been waiting for. While official venue and opening dates have not been announced yet, Elton John has publicly stated his ambition to bring the show to New York - and to put Vanessa Williams in front of a Tony voter.
The musical is based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel and the 2006 film starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. It tells the story of Andy Sachs, a young journalist who lands the job "a million girls would kill for" - personal assistant to ruthless fashion editor Miranda Priestly. Cue the makeovers, the meltdowns, the power-suit montages, and one of the most quotable scripts of the 21st century. The musical leans into all of it, with a sleek pop-rock score, a runway-ready production design, and the kind of sharp comedic writing the source material demands.
The show first played a Chicago tryout at the James M. Nederlander Theatre in 2022, then opened at London's Dominion Theatre in October 2024 - where it has been extending its run and earning rave reviews ever since. The London cast featured Vanessa Williams as Miranda, and Elton has been candid that his vision for Broadway includes Williams reprising the role. The Dominion run is currently scheduled to continue through early 2026, which lines up with the kind of timing a Broadway transfer would need.

About The Devil Wears Prada Musical
The Devil Wears Prada first arrived as a 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger, a sharp-eyed insider's take on the cutthroat world of high fashion in New York. Three years later, the David Frankel-directed film starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci turned the story into a global phenomenon - and gave the world a new pop-culture vocabulary, from "by all means, move at a glacial pace" to "florals? for spring? groundbreaking." The musical adaptation has been in development for years, and the team behind it is one of the most stacked Broadway has assembled in recent memory.
The score is by Sir Elton John - the legend behind The Lion King, Aida, and Billy Elliot, and one of the most successful theatrical composers of his generation. Lyrics are by Shaina Taub (recently a Tony winner for Suffs) and Mark Sonnenblick. The book is by Kate Wetherhead, who is known for her sharp, character-driven writing and quick comedic instincts. The combination delivers exactly what the source material needs - propulsive pop-rock songwriting paired with cutting-edge stage comedy.
The show had its world premiere in Chicago at the James M. Nederlander Theatre in summer 2022, where it played a limited run while the creative team continued refining the material. After significant rewrites, the production opened in London at the historic Dominion Theatre in October 2024, with Vanessa Williams in the role of Miranda Priestly. The West End reception has been ecstatic - audiences gave it nightly standing ovations, and the run has been extended through January 2026.
The plot follows Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist who lands a job as second assistant to Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. What begins as a temporary gig becomes a tour of fashion's most absurd extremes, a crash course in self-presentation, and ultimately a question about what kind of life Andy actually wants. The musical follows the same arc as the film but expands it - giving Miranda more interior life, leaning harder into the supporting characters, and using the score to carry moments the screen could only suggest.
Stand-out songs from the West End production include "Sketchbook," "Dress Me Up," "What Are You," and "Seen," with Williams' showpiece numbers as Miranda earning particularly enthusiastic reviews. Wikipedia has a more complete song list and production history for fans who want to dig in before the Broadway transfer is finalized.
What about Broadway? Elton John has stated openly that his goal is to bring the show to New York and to see Williams win a Tony for the role - and Stage Entertainment has already announced a German-language premiere in Hamburg in late 2026, suggesting the global expansion is well underway. While no Broadway venue, opening date, or cast has been formally announced yet, the show is widely expected to land on Broadway in 2026 or 2027. This site will be updated the moment confirmed dates are released, so check back often.
