Vanessa Williams Debuts in Elton John's Musical

Vanessa Williams has made her West End debut as Miranda Priestly in Elton John's musical adaptation of 'The Devil Wears Prada', which recently opened at London's Dominion Theatre. The production features extravagant costumes and a score by John, who expressed emotional challenges attending the premiere due to his vision loss from an infection. The gala opening, which served as a fundraiser for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, attracted a star-studded audience including fashion icons and celebrities like Anna Wintour and Donatella Versace. Williams, alongside a talented cast including Georgie Buckland as Andy Sachs, received positive feedback from audiences enjoying the nostalgic adaptation of the beloved story. John hopes the show will eventually make its way to Broadway, emphasizing the musical's vibrant energy and appeal. The production, directed by Jerry Mitchell, promises to captivate fans of the original film and novel.
