YES!
I don't know how many times I've seen this movie!
Definitely a girls night out!

The show will make its UK premiere at the Theatre Royal Plymouth in July 2024 before transferring to London’s Dominion Theatre from October 2024.

The Devil Wears Prada musical is based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger and the 2006 movie adaption which featured Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.

Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde, Hairspray) will helm the new production, which has music by Elton John, lyrics by Shaina Taub and a book by Kate Wetherhead.

Fresh out of college, aspiring journalist Andy scores a job at the prestigious Runway magazine working for fashion’s most powerful and terrifying icon — editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly.

Sacrificing her personal life to meet Miranda’s impossible demands, Andy finds herself seduced by the glamorous world she once despised. How far will she go to succeed… and will it be worth selling her soul to get what she’s always wanted?
​
Casting and further details are to be announced.

How exciting!

The beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber musical STARLIGHT EXPRESS is reportedly set for a major London revival, it has been rumoured.
The long-awaited return of roller-skating musical is reportedly set for next year, in an all-new purpose built immersive production, similar to the long-running Bochum production.
A child’s train set magically comes to life and the various engines compete to become the “Fastest – engine in the World”! The underdog, Rusty the Steam train, has little chance until he is inspired by the legend of the “Starlight Express” and ultimately defeats his arch-rivals Greaseball and Electra before going on to win the hand of the lovely first class coach, Pearl.
The world’s only musical performed entirely on roller skates, the show premiered at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, London in 1984. The show went on to achieve international success with productions on Broadway, in Las Vegas, Japan, Australia, a North American tour and in a purpose-built Starlighthalle in Bochum, which remains playing since premiering there in 1988.
The Bochum production also received a Guinness World Record for “The Most Visitors To A Musical In A Single Theatre” in 2010.
STARLIGHT EXPRESS has music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Richard Stilgoe and original choreography by Arlene Phillips.
