The musical rendition of The Devil Wears Prada just snagged its Miranda Priestly, and it’s none other than Vanessa Williams!
In a move that’s bound to have fashionistas and theater buffs alike reaching for their pearls, the announcement came via a hilariously fabulous video on social media. Picture this: Vanessa strutting into the scene, clutching a mock-up of Runway Magazine like it’s the Holy Grail, all while serving looks that could make even the fiercest runway models quake in their stilettos.
And oh, the sass! After tossing her coat and bag onto her assistant’s desk like it’s NBD, she turns to the camera with a smirk that screams, “Bow down, darlings.” “Don’t just sit there. Buy tickets or something,” she quips, delivering the kind of line that would make even the most stoic theatergoer crack a smile.
So, mark your calendars and start practicing your best runway walk, because The Devil Wears Prada is set to take over the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End. Previews kick off in July 2024, and trust us, you won’t want to miss your chance to witness Vanessa Williams channeling her inner Miranda Priestly.
