The original cast recording from "The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical" is set to be released on CD, Digital & LP formats on September 19 via Island EMI. Pre-order the album here.
Composed by musical icon Elton John, with lyrics from Shaina Taub and Mark Sonnenblick, these songs are a reminder that dreams - like fashion - never go out of style.
The CD and Digital release contains all 18 songs from the musical recorded by the celebrated Original West End Cast, which includes Vanessa Williams, Matt Henry, Georgie Buckland, Amy Di Bartolomeo, Rhys Whitfield and James Darch, as well as two previously unheard Elton John Original Demos, while the LP will include a selection of 12 tracks.
The new album marks the first time fans can gain an insight into this incredible creative process with Elton's recordings of "I Mean Business" and "The Devil Wears Prada" included in the CD and Digital release.
"The subject matter of The Devil Wears Prada absolutely screams out for music," Elton says. "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," he adds. "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."
A new single from the musical, "Miranda Girl," sung by Buckland, who plays Andy in the hit musical, has also been released.
"The Devil Wears Prada: A New Musical," has consistently smashed sales records since opening at the Dominion Theatre last year, becoming the fastest selling show in the theatre's history and continues to be a Box Office hit in the West End.
