The Devil Wears Prada Tickets

We’re only halfway through, but 2024 has already been a fantastic year for theatre! We’ve been treated to incredible Broadway transfers; Mean Girls, Hadestown and Slave Play, 5-star revivals (that both happen to be fans of commas and womens names); Hello, Dolly! and Kiss Me, Kate, and we also welcomed back the multi award-winning medical dramas People, Places and Things and Next To Normal. And that was just in the first seven months! 

And it doesn’t end there! We still have plenty of shows to look forward to in the latter half of the year. From a 430 year old play to two brand-new musicals, there’s something for everyone. So settle down, and read up on the best theatre shows to see in 2024. 

The 39 Steps

The acclaimed comedic adaptation, transforms Alfred Hitchcock's a classic spy thriller into a fast-paced farce. Unlike the film, the show stars just four actors, who hilariously portray over 130 characters between them. 

The story follows the protagonist, Richard Hannay, who becomes embroiled in a spy conspiracy after a mysterious woman is murdered in his apartment. He embarks on a thrilling adventure across Britain to clear his name and uncover the secret of ‘The 39 Steps.’

The classic comedy has received numerous accolades, including an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, and two Tony Awards during its Broadway run. So you’re going to want to pick the best seats when you watch it!

Already booked tickets for The 39 Steps, and looking for something else to tickle your funny bones? We’ve handpicked the best comedy shows in the West End.

Why Am I So Single?

Rulers of the West End, Marlow and Moss, have teamed up once more to create a brand new musical! The Six the Musical creators show follows the lonely little lives of two BFFs as they drink/eat/cry/laugh their way through (perpetual) singledom. The BFFs also happen to be creators of musical theatre, but Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss would rather you didn’t read too much into that…

Celebrating love in all its forms, the all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza focuses on mates as well as (lack of) dates. And is perfect for those who are single, looking, or happily partnered. 

Marlow and Moss were included in Time magazine's ‘Time 100 Next List’, and share a Tony Award for Best Original Score, so you know you’re going to want to swipe right on their latest project. We’ll even help you pick the best seats!

Waiting for Godot

Starring Emmy winner Ben Whishaw (Paddington) and BAFTA winner Lucian Msamati (Game of Thrones), you know it’s going to be worth the wait!

A landmark of modern theatre, Waiting for Godot is routinely hailed as one of the greatest plays of the 20th century. The play features two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait endlessly and in vain for someone named Godot. Throughout their vigil, they engage in a variety of conversations and meet other people, but is the titular character among them?

An existential masterpiece renowned for its exploration of the meaning of life and the passage of time, Waiting for Godot premiered in 1953 and went on to win Best Play at the Tony and Evening Standard Awards.

Waiting for Godot isn’t the only award winning play currently showing in the West End, take a look at our favourite plays currently running in the capital. 

The Duchess

Speaking of waiting, Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) finally returns to the West End stage after a decade long absence! Zinnie Harris’ critically acclaimed ‘towering adaptation’ (The Stage) of The Duchess of Malfi, will see Whittaker regenerate from Doctor to Duchess. 

A potent blend of horror, beauty, and tragedy, a recently widowed woman defies social expectations, and her family's wishes, when she remarries beneath her. Driven by insurmountable greed and rage, the Duchess’s brothers unleash a series of cruel and devastating punishments against her that repress her power. But will their vicious atrocities come back to haunt them?

The Duchess of Malfi is one of the most frequently performed works of Jacobean drama, and had a huge influence on the  gothic literature created at the time. The latest adaptation is already proving to be just as successful, so don't miss your chance to see it when The Duchess holds court at the Trafalgar Theatre for a strictly limited run. We’ll even help you pick the best seats.

The Devil Wears Prada

Adapting a cult noughties film into a star-studded musical? Groundbreaking. 

You probably know the story from the Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt lead movie, or from the Lauren Weisberger novel of which the film was based. If you missed it the first time round - perhaps you were attending an ugly skirt convention - let us get you up to speed.  Aspiring journalist, Andy Sachs, lands a job as an assistant to the demanding Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of the high-fashion magazine ‘Runway.’ As Andy navigates the cutthroat world of fashion, she struggles to maintain her personal relationships and sense of identity.

Former Miss America and current diva, Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives) stars as the formidable Miranda Priestly, with music legend, Elton John, providing the original score. We already know you want a ticket, but do you know where to sit? Like a loyal assistant, we’ve picked out the best seats at the Dominion Theatre to help you decide. 

Georgie Buckland (Shrek the Musical) will be swapping gumdrop buttons for a button-down Chanel two piece, as she takes on the (acting) job a million girls would die for, the role of Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada. She will be tormented by Six the Musical’s Amy Di Bartolomeo, as the queen of style and sarcasm, Emily. The pair will join the previously announced, Grammy Award winner, Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives) as Miranda Priestly and Olivier winner, Matt Henry (Kinky Boots, The Lion King) as Nigel.

The Dominion Theatre originally opened as a cinema in 1929 with the premiere of Charlie Chaplin's City Lights. Since the 1980s, the venue has been home to numerous big West End shows and has hosted the Royal Variety Performance on seven occasions. If you plan to attend a performance, you may want to know how to get a seat fit for royalty. Read on to find out the best seats that offer great views, which will enhance your experience at this incredible venue.

What are the best seats at the Dominion Theatre?

The Dominion Theatre is a renowned theatre located in the West End, offering a wide range of seating options for its audience. The seating is divided into four areas, with the stalls positioned on the floor of the venue. These seats provide an immersive experience and make you feel like you're part of the action. The stalls are divided into four blocks, with seats towards the rear or at the ends of rows being more affordable and still offering great views of the stage.

For a grand and luxurious experience, the royal box provides a royal experience and is situated directly above the stalls. It offers a decent view of the stage and great sound quality. The Nederlander box, located opposite to the royal box, offers similar views and sound quality.

Sitting anywhere in the Circle provides an excellent view of the stage. Due to the modernity of the theatre, sight-lines are clear from most places in the auditorium. Alternatively, sitting at the front of the circle is the most similar to the stalls and makes you feel completely part of the production.

The Dominion Theatre seating plan

Gird your loins, Vanessa Williams will be making her highly anticipated West End debut this Autumn! The multi award-winning Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives star will be stepping into the fashionably high stilettos of Miranda Priestly in the stage adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada. Groundbreaking!

A new year doesn’t mean it should be out with the old, especially when there are a host of highly anticipated revivals taking centre stage in 2024! Take a trip to Siam with Helen George in The King and I or visit a different kind of royalty with Player Kings – Henry IV Parts I and II with Sir Ian McKellen.

The passing of time doesn’t mean you should distance yourself from the nostalgic of the noughties (apart from the crimped hair of course). Miranda Priestly will be making Andy’s life hell in The Devil Wears Prada and the plastic’s in Mean Girls the Musical will be causing their own reign of terror. Oh, and if you’re after something brand new, then look no further than The Hills of California, Jez Butterworth and Sam Mendes’ latest venture!

Whatever your preference, make it your New Years resolution to see these shows in 2024!
