The Devil Wears Prada has always been larger than life, and now its leap from page to screen to stage gets its ultimate soundtrack moment. The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical arrives as a lavish cast recording performed by the Original West End Cast, with music written by none other than Elton John. Packed with style, wit, and plenty of bite, the album brings the energy of the record-breaking Dominion Theatre production straight into your living room.

This release collects all 18 songs from the musical, from powerhouse ensemble numbers to the sharp and knowing solos that made audiences fall in love with the show. Fans also get an inside look at the creative process with two exclusive Elton John demos, including “I Mean Business” and the title track, both included on the CD and digital editions. These demos are the foundation the production was built on, a rare glimpse into Elton’s process of translating fashion-world drama into soaring theatre songs.

The cast includes Vanessa Williams as Miranda, Georgie Buckland as Andy, Amy Di Bartolomeo as Emily, Matt Henry as Nigel, Rhys Whitfield as Nate, and James Darch as Christian, each delivering performances that balance camp, heart, and Broadway polish. The standout single “Miranda Girl,” sung by Buckland, captures the essence of Andy’s transformation and is already setting the tone for the album.

Elton John himself has said that the story demanded a contemporary score, calling the 2006 film one of his favorites of the last two decades. “The best musicals leave people with a joyous feeling,” he explained, “and that’s completely how I felt writing this.” His collaborators include lyricists Shaina Taub and Mark Sonnenblick, director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell, and an award-winning creative team that gave the production its bold look and sound.

The CD version comes with a 16-page booklet featuring lyrics and liner notes from Lauren Weisberger, whose bestselling novel started it all. For fans of the film, the book, or simply musical theatre at its most vibrant, this album offers a chance to relive the spectacle and the sass that made The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical a West End sensation.
