The Devil Wears Prada at the Dominion Theatre on

Not a very nice day to dodge in and out of the crowds all the way up Charing Cross Road but we were treated to a spectacular (but very loud!) show at the end of it. Originally a 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger The Devil Wears Prada was made into a film in 2006 starring Meryl Streep as cutthroat fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly. With music by Elton John, an excellent cast and stunning costumes the show closely follows the narrative of the film. All the main characters as well as the rest of the ensemble are great and Vanessa Williams, multi-talented star, is superb as Miranda Priestly, but no one can ‘out Streep’ Meryl! A really entertaining afternoon but not a must see.
