It’s the magazine relaunch that gets two nods from us, and now all positions at Runway magazine have been filled. But who will be in the boardroom where it happens?
It was announced yesterday that Georgie Buckland (Shrek The Musical) will make her West End debut playing aspiring journalist Andy, alongside Amy Di Bartolomeo (Six the Musical) as the icy First Assistant to Miranda, Emily. They will be joined by James Darch (MAMMA MIA!) as the devious journalist, Christian, and Rhys Whitfield (The Phantom of the Opera) as Andy's long-term boyfriend, Nate.
Playing opposite them will be the previously announced, multi-award-winning singer and actor Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives) as the irrepressible Miranda Priestly, and Olivier Award winner Matt Henry (Matilda the Musical, Lion King) as Runway's Creative Fashion Director, Nigel.
Completing the team are: Maddy Ambus, Gabby Antrobus, Selena Barron, Pamela Blair, Robertina Bonano, Lloyd Davies, Elishia Edwards, Akeem Ellis-Hyman, Elizabeth Fullalove, Jinny Gould, Natasha Heyward, Samuel How, Luke Jackson, Debbie Kurup (London only), Liam Marcellino, Robbie McMillan, Ciro Lourencio Meulens, Gabriel Mokake, Theo Papoui, Christopher Parkinson, Eleanor Peach, Ethan Le Phong, Jon Reynolds, Harriet Samuel-Gray, Olivia Saunders, Kayleigh Thadani, Ella Valentine, Rhys Whitfield and Tara Yasmin.

Fresh out of college, aspiring journalist Andy scores a job at the prestigious Runway magazine working for fashion's most powerful and terrifying icon — editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly. Sacrificing her personal life to meet Miranda's impossible demands, Andy finds herself seduced by the glamorous world she once despised. How far will she go to succeed... and will it be worth selling her soul to get what she’s always wanted?
