Pop superstar Elton John will return to Broadway with a musical adaptation of the blockbuster film and novel The Devil Wears Prada.

John will write the music for The Devil Wears Prada, with lyrics to be penned by Paul Rudnick, a humorist who frequently writes for The New Yorker magazine.
“Reimagining The Devil Wears Prada for the musical theatre is super exciting,” John said in a statement, which added that the production timeline will be announced later.
“I’m a huge fan of both the book and the feature film, and a huge aficionado of the fashion world. I can’t wait to sink my musical teeth into this hunk of popular culture,” the English musician said.
While Broadway is notoriously tough terrain even for famous names, John has a proven record of triumph with musicals.

The Lion King, his musical adaptation of the Disney animated film, set the record as the first show to gross US$1 billion on Broadway, where it remains the third longest-running show in history.
He also found success with a musical adaptation of Verdi’s opera Aida as well as Billy Elliot the Musical, which closed last year after a successful run on London’s West End.

Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway starred in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada about an all-powerful fashion magazine editor who tyrannically imposes her will on an ambitious young editorial assistant.
