Elton John on The Devil Wears Prada album: 'It's great to write musicals'

The Devil Wears Prada London Press Launch - (Danny Kaan)

The Devil Wears Prada has been quite the success story. It has consistently smashed sales records since opening at the Dominion Theatre last year, becoming the fastest selling show in the theatre’s history and continues to be a Box Office hit in the West End with Vanessa Williams leading from the front as the fearsome magazine editor, Miranda Priestley.

Elton John is the man behind the music and is of course one of the most successful writers of musicals of all time. For over 30 years his works have graced stages across the world, winning him Oscar, Tony, Grammy, and Laurence Oliver Awards along the way. The Lion King is one of the West End's longest running productions, having had its home at the Lyceum Theatre for 26 consecutive years. On Broadway alone, The Lion King has grossed over $2.1 billion, with Billy Elliot over $183 million and Aida $165 million.
