The Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives star will be donning the red stilettos, worn so well by Queen Meryl Streep, for the show\u2019s premiere at the Dominion Theatre this October.<\/p>\n
\u201cBringing Miranda Priestly to life in the West End is an absolute dream come true,\u201d said Williams, \u201cGird your loins, folks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before taking on the role as editor-in-chief at Runway, Williams has garnered more than enough experience with her role of Wilhelmina Slater, model turned magazine editor in the cult comedy series Ugly Betty.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s also no stranger to the wonderful world of musicals, having received a Tony nomination for her role as The Witch in Stephen Sondheim\u2019s Into The Woods, and several Grammy nominations for her hit single Save the Best for Last.<\/p>\n
The Devil Wears Prada musical will be Williams\u2019s first West End performance, but she\u2019s in safe hands \u2013 with music composed and written by Sir Elton John.<\/p>\n

Following the show\u2019s announcement last October, John said: \u201cRe-imagining The Devil Wears Prada for the musical theatre is super exciting. I\u2019m a huge fan of both the book and the feature film and a huge aficionado of the fashion world. I can\u2019t wait to sink my musical teeth into this hunk of popular culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Devil Wears Prada Musical was tried out in Chicago a few years ago and will first be previewed at the Theatre Royal Plymouth, before heading to the London stage this Autumn.<\/p>\n
