Elton John has taken his legendary songwriting into the world of high fashion with the Original West End Cast Recording of The Devil Wears Prada, now available on CD, digital and vinyl.
The musical, based on the best-selling novel by Lauren Weisberger and the hit 2006 film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, brings the glamour and drama of Runway magazine to the stage with a brand-new score by Elton John. Lyrics come from Shaina Taub and Mark Sonnenblick, with a book by Kate Wetherhead.
The standout track Dress Your Way Up – led by Matt Henry, MBE, who plays Nigel – has been released alongside the full cast album. The West End cast features Vanessa Williams as the formidable Miranda Priestly, Georgie Buckland as Andy, Amy Di Bartolomeo as Emily, Rhys Whitfield as Nate and James Darch as Christian.
Alongside the full 18 songs from the show, the album also includes two never-before-heard Elton John demos: I Mean Business and The Devil Wears Prada. For Elton fans, it’s a rare chance to hear the Rocket Man’s raw sketches before they became fully realised stage numbers.
The production premiered in Chicago in 2022 before its reimagined staging opened in London’s West End in 2024.
