Elton John collaborated with lyricist Shaina Taub, whose past work includes the original musical Suffs and various Shakespeare adaptations, on new songs for the Devil Wears Prada musical.
The chart-topping singer previously worked on Disney’s Lion King, as well as the musicals Billy Elliott and, more recently, Tammy Faye, based on the life of the titular televangelist.
Kate Wetherhead, who previously adapted the film Legally Blonde for the stage, has written this new show’s book, with more casting announcements expected in the months ahead.
The Devil Wears Prada will open at London’s Dominion Theatre in October, with tickets already on sale.
A preview performance took place in Chicago back in 2022, although this was met with unanimously negative reviews, with tweaks having been made ahead of its West End debut.
