Vanessa Williams has been cast as the formidable fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly in Elton John’s new musical adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada.

The stage production is based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling 2003 novel and the 2006 film version, which starred Meryl Streep as Priestly and Anne Hathaway as her put-upon assistant. The show will run in the summer at Theatre Royal Plymouth before opening in October at London’s Dominion theatre, which has one of the biggest seating capacities in the capital.
