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. ... Read more

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. ... Read more
