Vanessa Williams has set her final performance in The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical for 19 September 2026, drawing a firm line under her run as Miranda Priestly at London’s Dominion Theatre. Matt Henry, who plays Nigel, will follow on 17 October 2026.
The dates matter because the production is still booking until 6 February 2027, leaving a stretch of performances after both principal departures have been marked out. For audiences checking tickets now, the message is simple: if they want Williams in the role she originated on stage, the clock is already running.
The musical opened at Theatre Royal Plymouth in 2024 before transferring to the Dominion Theatre, where it became the venue’s fastest-selling show. That momentum has kept it on sale well into 2027, even as the two headline cast exits now give the run a clear point of change.
Williams originated Miranda Priestly on stage, while Henry has been a key part of a production that adapts Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel and the 2006 film. The show also features music by Elton John, lyrics by Shaina Taub and Mark Sonnenblick, and a book by Kate Wetherhead, under Jerry Mitchell’s direction and choreography.
What the announcement does not yet answer is who will take over. Successors for Williams and Henry will be named later, leaving the Dominion with a long booking window and a cast change still to come. For now, the production has done the one thing audiences needed most: it has told them exactly when two of its defining performers will leave.
