The Devil Wears Prada began its West End premiere at London's Dominion Theatre October 24 ahead of a December 5 opening night, and production photos are in. 

The musical, which originally premiered in Chicago in 2022 with a different creative team and cast, features music by Elton John, lyrics by two-time Tony winner Shaina Taub (Suffs), and a book by Kate Wetherhead. Tony winner Jerry Mitchell is directing and choreographing, reportedly drastically reimagining the musical since its U.S. bow. This West End run was preceded by a try-out at Theatre Royal Plymouth earlier this year.
