The West End premiere of The Devil Wears Prada musical has extended its run again due to popular demand. It will now play London's Dominion Theatre through February 6, 2027.

Vanessa Williams, leading the cast as the ruthless Miranda Priestly, and Matt Henry (Kinky Boots; The Drifters Girl), who plays Priestly's right-hand-man Nigel, will stay on until October 17. The current cast also includes Stevie Doc as Andy, Taila Halford as Emily, and Keelan McAuley as Nate, and James Darch as Christian.

The musical, which originally premiered in Chicago in 2022 with a different creative team and cast, features music by Tony winner Elton John, lyrics by two-time Tony winner Shaina Taub and Oscar winner Mark Sonnenblick, and a book by Kate Wetherhead. Tony winner Jerry Mitchell is directing and choreographing, vastly reimagining the musical since its U.S. bow.
