First is The Devil Wears Prada! Teri Hatcher (Lois & Clark, Desperate Housewives) will be taking over the role of Miranda Priestly on October 20th. Of her new role, she said “Miranda is intelligent, commanding, and has a glorious way of putting you in your place while being funny at the same time. Her dialogue is unforgettable, her confidence is contagious. These are the kinds of roles one loves to play. I can’t wait to embrace Miranda’s sharp wit, fierce ambition, and iconic style, and share her story on a stage with a new audience every night.”
