On August 3, Elton John attended a performance of “The Devil Wears Prada, The Musical” at Broadway in Chicago’s James M. Nederlander Theatre. John, who wrote the music for the new show, was greeted with a standing ovation when he entered the theater. After the performance ended, he went backstage to share a special moment with the cast.
The musical’s plot is as follows: Runway Magazine. The supreme authority of the high-fashion world, and the new home of assistant Andy Sachs. It’s a position a million people would kill for, but under the sharp stilettos of Runway’s legendary Editor-in-Chief Miranda Priestly, the job is no dream. Up against Miranda’s blistering leadership and stratospheric expectations, Andy is pushed to the edge, forced to choose between her career and her own happiness.
“The Devil Wears Prada, The Musical” is a glamorous and hilarious story about finding your place and discovering what matters most. Based on Lauren Weisberger’s best-selling 2003 novel and the 2006 blockbuster film from Fox 2000 Pictures, the musical is produced by Tony Award winner Kevin McCollum (In the Heights, Avenue Q, Rent, and SIX) and Rocket Entertainment / David Furnish (Billy Elliot: The Musical and Next Fall) and presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.
