Screen and stage star Vanessa Williams<\/a><\/strong> has teased that she may extend her run playing Miranda Priestly in the hit West End musical The Devil Wears Prada<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The show is currently booking at the Dominion Theatre to 3 January 2026.<\/p>\n

The Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives star plays Runway magazine editor Miranda Priestly in the show, played by Meryl Streep in the much-loved movie. Vanessa originated the role of Priestly in the musical, from pre-West End tryouts in Plymouth, to the show\u2019s successful run at the Dominion Theatre in London.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Williams is currently scheduled to leave the show on 18 October 2025, when the first major cast change takes place.<\/p>\n

However, Williams told BBC\u2019s Saturday Kitchen<\/a> last month (12 July 2025), that \u201cI\u2019m scheduled to be finished in October, but I might be staying longer\u201d.<\/p>\n

Vanessa also teased a possible extension for the show itself, which is currently booking until January, saying that the run maybe \u201cpossibly longer. I can\u2019t announce anything but people are loving it, people are coming, and we\u2019re having such a great time\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Devil Wears Prada officially opened in December 2024 at the Dominion Theatre, with a charity gala<\/a> in aid of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The musical has been doing great business despite mixed reviews from the critics<\/a>, with strong sales and great audience feedback.<\/p>\n

The show is based on the much-loved movie which starred Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, and the bestselling book by Lauren Weisberger, with direction and choreography by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Jerry Mitchell <\/strong>(Legally Blonde), and an original score by music legend and EGOT winner Elton John<\/strong> (Disney\u2019s The Lion King<\/a>). The show\u2019s lyrics are by singer-songwriter Shaina Taub<\/strong>, and it has a book by Kate Wetherhead<\/strong> (Submissions Only).<\/p>\n

The current cast of The Devil Wears Prada also includes Olivier Award winner Matt Henry<\/a><\/strong> (Kinky Boots<\/a>, The Drifters Girl) as Nigel, her trusted fashion expert; Georgie Buckland<\/a><\/strong> (Shrek the Musical<\/a>, Bedknobs and Broomsticks) as newbie assistant Andy, played by Anne Hathaway in the movie; Amy Di Bartolomeo<\/a><\/strong> (Six The Musical<\/a>, We Will Rock You) as Miranda\u2019s chief assistant Emily, played in the film by Emily Blunt; and James Darch<\/a><\/strong> (Mamma Mia!<\/a>) as devious journalist Christian, Rhys Whitfield<\/a><\/strong> (The Phantom of the Opera<\/a>) as Andy\u2019s boyfriend Nate, and Debbie Kurup<\/a><\/strong> (FANGIRLS<\/a>, The Cher Show) will feature as Standby Miranda at the Dominion Theatre.<\/p>\n

Completing the cast of The Devil Wears Prada are Maddy Ambus, Gabby Antrobus, Selena Barron, Pamela Blair, Robertina Bonano, Lloyd Davies, Elishia Edwards, Akeem Ellis-Hyman, Elizabeth Fullalove, Jinny Gould, Natasha Heyward, Samuel How, Luke Jackson, Liam Marcellino, Robbie McMillan, Ciro Lourencio Meulens, Theo Papoui, Christopher Parkinson, Eleanor Peach, Ethan Le Phong, Jon Reynolds, Harriet Samuel-Gray, Olivia Saunders, Kayleigh Thadani, Ella Valentine, Rhys Whitfield and Tara Yasmin.<\/p>\n
