Andy, an ambitious young writer in New York City, lands a job at a prestigious magazine. Trying to survive under her stylish yet terrifying boss, she finds herself caught between the dreams she thought she wanted, and the cost of what that reality brings. A joyous, funny, and — of course — ultraglamorous story about navigating life’s runway to discover where you’re meant to be, The Devil Wears Prada is a new musical that gives the hit film a fabulously fresh makeover.

As it turns out, the best fashion statements are sung. Strutting an all-star team, including music by Tony Award winner Sir Elton John (Billy Elliot, Aida), lyrics by singer-songwriter Shaina Taub (Twelfth Night at The Public Theater), a book by Paul Rudnick (In & Out, Jeffrey), music supervision by Nadia DiGiallonardo (Waitress), and direction by Tony Award winner Anna D. Shapiro (August: Osage County),The Devil Wears Prada models that getting want you want simply means chasing it down, even in four-inch heels.

CindersGolightly said: "I’m rooting for the lab cast which, if the musical is anything like the movie, is pitch perfect in every way."



Is there a list of the lab cast anywhere?


A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

The only casting in that lab that strikes me as truly exciting is Helene Yorke in the Emily Blunt role.

I've very glad to see that this production is being directed and music supervised by women.

I love living in Chicago, we've been spoiled these past few Summers w/ pre-Broadway tryouts and I get obsessed:

2018 The Cher Show (6x)

2019 Six (7x)

I cannot wait!

For me, if you remove Meryl Streep from the equation, you’re not left with much to hang onto. Andy isn’t a particularly compelling character and much of the drama involving her boyfriend and friends is forced. Streep is what elevated the film to success (with some assist from Blunt and Tucci), so I’m having trouble picturing this property without her; what’s the point?

I just find the casting of Etai Benson as Nate so hysterically perfect and I’m not sure why.

A Christine Baranski Miranda would honestly be my dream.

Multiple Tony winner? Mark Rylance will be brilliant as Miranda!

Honestly, of all the names thrown around, Bernadette and Audra are the two who could take the character in a different direction than Streep.

I’m in the Donna Murphy or bust camp (not really, but sort of). She’s just ideal for the role, and she has such a knack for comedy, especially the kind of comedy that Streep refined so perfectly when she played the role. Ebersole was so incredible in GREY GARDENS, and yet I can’t see her pulling off the type of out-of-the-world genius turn that could turn this into an iconic performance. Christine Baranski would be perfect, but I doubt her GOOD FIGHT schedule would fit with a musical Broadway run (same for Audra, who is brilliant in that show by the way).
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
