The Devil Wears Prada review: ‘style over substance’

JL;DR SUMMARY Elton John's musical adaptation of "The Devil Wears Prada," featuring Vanessa Williams as Miranda Priestly, disappoints with its predictable plot and lackluster music and choreography.

London, England, United Kingdom
"He might well wear Prada but if the devil has any taste in musicals hell steer clear of the one bearing his name. Though some have scorn for yet another musical adaptation of a film occupying yet another West End stage, the provenance of a show doesnt much matter if the result is theatrical magic."
New York, United States
"The highlights in Jerry Mitchells production are all visual, such as the transition from New York to Paris (cue massive Eiffel Tower, of course)."
