First is The Devil Wears Prada<\/a>! Teri Hatcher (Lois & Clark, Desperate Housewives) will be taking over the role of Miranda Priestly on October 20th.

Her dialogue is unforgettable, her confidence is contagious. These are the kinds of roles one loves to play. I can\u2019t wait to embrace Miranda\u2019s sharp wit, fierce ambition, and iconic style, and share her story on a stage with a new audience every night.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
