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.

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.

How far will she go to succeed... and will it be worth selling her soul to get what she’s always wanted?
