THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA Musical - News & Discussion Thread — Page 2

When Rudnick exited, I'm kind of surprised Aline Brosh McKenna (who wrote the film) didn't join the production. Or perhaps she was offered it and turned it down. She's the creator/showrunner ofCrazy Ex-Girlfriendand has musical theatre in her bones."

In the last few years she's embraced it more. Once it became clear that it fed her legend instead of tarnishing it. She even did a video with Meryl for Vogue's YouTube channel. I don't think an invitation for some of them isn't out of the realm of possibility. Especially if Prada is actually strongly involved.

Where is the cast announcement??

Has there been any music leaked? Curious about score. Miranda doesn't scream to me a character that needs to sing.

Beth kinda touches on this in that podcast that was posted on this thread a couple weeks ago.

Well that bit was unmemorable to say the least HA!

Oh let's cool it until we hear an actual song –– it's 4 words, mostly instrumental, and probably not the arrangement that will be used in the show.

Separate from the song, I still dislike the key art, and if there's one thing Kevin McCollum is always gonna do it's promote his own credentials.

I think it is truly hysterical they have “Christian Thompson as Christian Thompson.” Surely they didn’t do that purpose, right?

Wintour loves Broadway so she usually invites several season standouts last minute especially men since there are usually more female celebs at the event. But I highly doubt she’ll welcome performers from a show that’s a thinly veiled account of what it’s like to work for her (unless Elton buys a table which cost 250k and even then invites have to be approved by her). She’s not known for her sense of humor.

Cantone plays very strong personas. Nigel, as portrayed by Stanley Tucci in the film, is very subdued and not outlandish, which fits Javier much better. In the film, Nigel isn’t a full-on comic role. In the original novel, Nigel is tall and British and the Creative Director of RUNWAY Magazine, so it’s obvious the musical adaptation is going in another direction.

Who's "Lauren" in the movie? Doesn't ring a bell.

There is no character in the film named Lauren.

These intern journalists need to get their s**t together. These are publicity press photos NOT the actresses in costume. Oy!
