For the longest time I have been saying that they should make a Devil Wears Prada musical with Vanessa Williams as Miranda Priestly and Sierra Boggess as Andy. Thoughts?

I could see Vanessa but not Sierra. I would prefer someone younger in the part. She's supposed to have just finished college.

Yes, someone younger than Sierra, and someone who can act possibly

Cynthia Erivo as Andy. Wouldn't mind seeing Jamie Lee Curtis in the play version, if there ever is one. 

 

Update - Patti LuPone. *mic drop*

Laura Osnes as Andy, please. Vanessa Williams would make a good Amanda Priestley but I'm guessing many of you have chosen her because the role reminds you of the one she played on "Ugly Betty", so why not? Right?

I would actually like to see Bernadette Peters tackle the role, she's good at comedy and would give her the opportunity to bare her claws.

Dare I even say... Meryl Streep in the role. 

I know it'll never happen, but I'd kill to hear those iconic lines live.

I guess no thread is complete now without someone saying the words "Cynthia Erivo".

Bernadette even played a character with the shades of this one on Ugly Betty once.

Patti would be fierce tho.

Christine Baranski as Miranda and dare I say Lena Hall as Andy?

^ that's pretty fun too. Titus could be a great Stanely Tucci (cannot remember his name). They'll need to invent a role for Jackie Hoffman.

Caroline Bowman would be an ideal choice for Andy.

Considering the horrible mugging and terrible performance he gave in "Guys and Dolls" I would say NO TITUS!

Christine Dwyer would be perfect for the Emily blunt role.

I think Sherie Rene Scott could be an incredible Miranda. She can be icy cold but has warmth deep underneath it. It would be a radically different character than the movie version, which I would find exciting.

I actually think Sierra would be great in the Emily Blunt role. Would love Patti to star in this with Caroline Bowman or Jennifer Damiano as Andy. This could be really great if done right!! As for the creative team: I think it would be interesting if American Psycho's musical team tackled this.

I'm still sticking with Vanessa Williams being Miranda. I think she would be the perfect role for it. She's done the mean roles with Ugly Betty and the Witch in Into The Woods and brings an evil and warmth to it. I think Jennifer Damiano and Helene Yorke as Andy and Emily would be quite entertaining
