Thanks for the thorough review - I can tell from your euthusiasm that you really liked this one. I'm seeing it in two weeks cannot wait! Saw Vanessa Williams open a musical concert at Cardogan Hall today so really looking forward to seeing her as Miranda! Did you happen to check out the stage doors after the show?

How exciting! 😊 looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you see the show! Vanessa is spectacular, I hope you really enjoy it! I didn't check the stage door actually so I have no tips for that one, sorry.

Why doesn't anyone ever mention the props! The prop supervisors are there from the start and set the scenes!!! Fab

Interesting, enjoyed hearing your thoughts! I saw it on the first preview and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't an overall favourite for me. Agree the cast were fabulous especially Amy di Bartolomeo, there were some really amazing set and lighting pieces as well! Think it's a fun addition to the West End!

[@KristinaEmilyOfficial]

Ah great you managed to see it on the first preview - that must have been super special! I wouldn't say it's my favourite of the year but probably in the top 10 ☺ I was really sceptical about it as movie to theatre adaptations don't always deliver but I think this one will find it's fandom more easily than some other adaptations.

@@KristinaEmilyOfficial Yes it was fun to be at the very first preview, never been at one before! And I definitely expect that as it settles in I'm sure it'll get even better over time as well :)

When I heard they were going to make a musical, my first thought was DO-NOT-TOUCH-THAT-MOVIE!!! But… I was there last week at the opening night in the Dominion Theatre and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. I fully agree the cast is excellent, staging and set design top, outfits top. Regarding music: some numbers (e.g. I only love you for your body) are 100% Elton-style, others may be more difficult to be recognized as his compositions. The refrain of the number „Runway“ sung by Emily reminds me of „Somewhere“ from West Side Story - I really hope it‘s not going to turn out to be a plagiarism… Regarding singing: generally very good, except the high note at the end of The Devil wears Prada (the ball scene) sung by someone from the cast and which was totally off-pitch/flat and really hurt my ears. They should work a bit more on that one with their vocal coach. I was also glad that they kept a lot of the original text from the movie. Especially Miranda’s famous cerulean-monologue was kept almost in its entirety. However, I was missing the equally famous „Florals? For spring?! Groundbreaking!“ Also, they added some additional story lines like Emily‘s flirting with the nurses in the hospital where she is hospitalized following her accident (Bon Voyage). This is something which is not in the original movie but nevertheless a good idea as an 11 o‘clock number. Overall, a very positive experience.

Thank you so much for commenting! I am so glad to hear you've had a positive experience seeing this musical. I totally share your opinion - I was a bit wary about going to see it but am so glad I was proven wrong! Great show that will hopefully find a way to many people and fans of the movie. 😊

I'm excited, Shaina writes incredible lyrics and the music by Elton John there's really not much to say! im sure the music will be amazing!

[@KristinaEmilyOfficial]
