We ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERYTHING about this play! A 5 Star talented cast, tremendous musical numbers, excellent script, sets and wardrobe were beyond stunning! DO NOT believe any negative reviews; our Sunday evening audience gave this event an extended standing ovation at the end!, laughed throughout, and had ONLY positive things to say upon exiting!

Devil Wears Prada

A very humorous and lively play. The actor, Megan Haley...(Emily-the 1st Assistant)... really stood out with her appearance and performance of this rich and funny character.

If you loved the movie, you'll love this musical

Absolutely Bwy-worthy job. Strong cast, especially actors playing Miranda, Andrea, Emily and Nigel, costumed fashionably. (For our performance, Andrea was played by the understudy, Megan Masako Haley, just as beautiful and personable as Anne H, with great pipes. Cannot imagine the actor she replaced could be any better). Miranda was perfect — the gravitas and stage presence of Meryl coupled with a strong voice and impeccable timing. All of your favorite lines and the speech are intact, as is Andy’s familiar cell phone ring. Elton John’s music works (lyrics incorporate more movie script) and moves the plot along. The scenery is clever. The first production number (Andy’s fruitless job hunting and then the call from Elias Publishing) uses a big photograph of the Avenue of the Americas next to the publishing bldg with Radio City on the right as the backdrop. As Andy enters into the elevator and ascends to Runway’s floor, the photograph changes — from street view going upward to top of skyscrapers. There are some, minor differences from the movie to streamline the story. Emily falls in the office (not breaking anything) after feeling faint from a diet for the Paris Trip. Miranda tells Andrea that Emily isn’t going to Paris at the Met Ball. Eliminating some dance numbers with no songs might be another beneficial steamline. But, essentially it’s the same story we all love with great songs and strong actors, warmly applauded by the audience.

Smiled and entertained the Entire Show

We thought this was better than the movie! Loved Nigel! Loved Andy and Emily. The stage design and direction was outstanding. We were thrilled to see this and feel lucky that we are a part of this world debut! Our audience was very into it!

We loved it and actually saw it twice! I loved the song Dress Your Way Up and Seen. I did wish Miranda had ice silver hair, and didn’t think the roommates were needed. I smiled and laughed and had a great time.

Could Of Been Great! But 🥹

First; what I loved; Nigel! Amazing singer and a beautiful voice! Great actor. You just felt him. So naturally talented! Loved his look, and he made the songs his own.I loved the dance number he was in, in the beginning! And the back up dancers and singers were amazing! Dance choreo and costuming was exciting! Loved the tall blond with the long legs, she should have been in it throughout the músical. I know she was but in a different costume, The set changes were incredible! The Eiffel Tower was outstanding! Loved all the back up dancers and singers. Costuming for them was eye catching. But dance choreo after the begging was only ok. Barely spins, leg kicks, how about some snoody pirouettes? Emily was perfect in her role, vocals, expression, acting, hair, makeup, costuming, all, spot on!!! Loved her!!!! Andy vocals-great, acting-great. Loved her soulful voice. A few songs brought you in but sad to say, the other songs she was given, where “yawn” 😒 I didn’t know she could dance till later in the show. She should have danced more early on! Who ever dressed her should be fired, or made to wear what she wore, and see how they would have felt. I’ve been an extra 8 or more times in Chicago and my clothing was way more exciting! The first outfit with the thigh high boots was cool! But after that, she looked like she was 40 and going to church. “Lord, let us pray, lol”. The dance part when they put the black hat and jacket on her, why black? Um black absorbs light, how about vibrant color like the dancers??? Perhaps go to some Chicago Drag Clubs, Untitled, etc… to watch their shows for ideas? Her boyfriend had great vocals but his acting wasn’t convincing. Loved Miranda, don’t get me started with her clothing, and she’s supposed to be the the fashion police??? Come on!!! Loved her acting and vocals All in all, I am super happy I went, great date with my daughter and I did love certain parts!
