Matt Henry (Kinky Boots, The Voice) will bring the esteemed character of Nigel to the stage in The Devil Wears Prada, which opens at London’s Dominion Theatre in October.
He joins the previously announced Vanessa Williams, best known for her celebrated roles in Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives as well as a multi-award winning singer, as the irrepressible Miranda Priestly.
Matt Henry said: “Having been a huge fan of the film, a passion for fashion and the fact that the role of Nigel is iconic, what’s not to love about joining the cast of The Devil Wears Prada The Musical?!
“Being able to draw inspiration and pay homage to the leading black men in the fashion industry, such as the amazing Edward Enninful and the late André Leon Talley is what truly excites me about taking on this incredible role.”
The Devil Wears Prada, a new musical, based on the blockbuster film and bestselling novel, features an original score by music icon and Olivier and Tony Award winner Elton John, lyrics by singer-songwriter Shaina Taub, a book by Kate Wetherhead, and direction & choreography by three-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell.
The production will play an exclusive preview engagement in Summer 2024 at Theatre Royal Plymouth prior to opening in the West End in October.
Hilariously fun and fabulously stylish, The Devil Wears Prada tells an inspiring story about discovering what kind of person you truly want to be. Choose your outfit carefully and get ready for a new musical that’s hautter than hell!
Further casting for the production will be announced in due course.
