Miranda Priestly doesn't like to move at a glacial pace—but even the editor-in-chief of Runway has to deal with pandemic-related schedule changes. The Broadway-aimed stage adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada will now hold its world premiere engagement July 19–August 21, 2022, at the James L. Nederlander Theatre in Chicago.
As previously reported, the musical is set to star Tony winner Beth Leavel as Miranda Priestly with Taylor Iman Jones as Andy Saks.
