The stage and screen favorite will be seen as Miranda Priestly in the forthcoming West End bow of the new musical based on the hit film.

Gird your loins … because The Devil Wears Prada musical has released its first trailer. Rehearsals are underway for the West End debut of the stage musical of the hit film with previews scheduled to begin October 24 at London's Dominion Theatre.

Get a sneak peek at the new musical, which made its U.K. premiere in July at Theatre Royal Plymouth, in the video above.

The cast is led by Tony nominee Vanessa Williams as the ruthless Miranda Priestly.

The musical features music by Elton John, lyrics by two-time 2024 Tony winner Shaina Taub (Suffs), and a book by Kate Wetherhead. Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots) is directing and choreographing.

Williams will be joined by Georgie Buckland as Andy, Amy Di Bartolomeo (SIX: The Musical) as Emily, James Darch as Christian, Rhys Whitfield as Nate, and Olivier winner Matt Henry as Nigel.

Based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger and the 2006 film adaptation, The Devil Wears Prada follows aspiring fashion journalist Andy Sachs. When she is hired as assistant to Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief of the fictional Runway Magazine, she discovers that breaking into the industry requires more than she expected.

The Devil Wears Prada had its world premiere at Chicago's James M. Nederlander Theatre in 2022, with a different creative team and cast.

Mitchell's creative team includes scenic designer Tim Hatley, costume designer Gregg Barnes, lighting designer Bruno Poet, sound designer Gareth Owen, and hair, wig, and makeup designer Campbell Young Associates. Casting is by Jill Green. Orchestrations and arrangements are by music supervisor Tom Deering, and Katharine Woolley is music director. Giles Martin serves as music executive.

Kevin McCollum and Rocket Entertainment's David Furnish are still attached as producers after working on the Chicago world premiere. Joining for the U.K. bow is Jamie Wilson. They present by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.
