The original cast recording of The Devil Wears Prada is officially available out now for fans of the show to enjoy.

This newly released recording includes new single ‘Dress Your Way Up’, performed by Matt Henry, MBE and Georgie Buckland who play Nigel and Andy as well as the previously released ‘Miranda Girl’, performed by Georgie Buckland and  ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ performed by Vanessa Williams and Matt Henry.

The CD and Digital release includes two previously unheard Elton John Original Demos, which formed the architectural drawings the musical was built from. The new album marks the first time fans can gain an insight into this creative process with Elton’s recordings of ‘I Mean Business’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.

Composed by Elton John, the musical features  lyrics from Shaina Taub and Mark Sonnenblick. The CD and Digital release contains all 18 songs from the musical recorded by the celebrated Original West End Cast, which includes Vanessa Williams (Miranda), Matt Henry, MBE (Nigel), Georgie Buckland (Andy), Amy Di Bartolomeo (Emily), Rhys Whitfield (Nate) and James Darch (Christian), plus the aforementioned Elton John Original Demos, while the LP will include a selection of 12 tracks. The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical is produced in the West End by Kevin McCollum, David Furnish, and Jamie Wilson. The cast recording is produced and mixed by Giles Martin, with the Elton John Original demos produced by Matt Still and Kim Bullard.

Elton John says: “The subject matter of The Devil Wears Prada absolutely screams out for music. It’s been one of my favourite films of the last 20 years, so when the conversation came up about me writing the music for the stage version, it was an absolute no-brainer. I’m always looking forward, never backwards, so it absolutely had to be a modern, contemporary score. The best musicals leave people with a joyous feeling, and that’s completely how I felt writing this. ‘It has been wonderful to see the response & success of the stage show and hearing the fantastic reactions to the songs.”
