The movie "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006) is not only a classic reflection in the fashion industry, but also a cultural phenomenon. Now, this popular work will return to the stage in the form of a musical, scheduled to be performed in London from December 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025. It is very exciting.
The original author Lauren Weisberg once again appeared in the public eye on the eve of the musical's release to share her unique perspective on the work and the controversy it caused. Her appearance is like an echo of the past, wearing a simple black sweater and dark jeans, low-key and fashionable, as if conveying to us the spirit of her Miranda Presley.
"The Devil Wears Prada" was originally a novel published by Weisberg in 2003, inspired by her experience working at "Vogue" magazine. She uses an ironic touch to depict the power games and women's struggle for survival in the workplace, especially the delicate relationship with a strong female boss. Although Anna Wintour, the then-prestigious editor-in-chief of "Vogue", never publicly expressed her position on this work, the work made her image more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In a recent interview, Weisberg recalled the buzz surrounding the book's release. She admitted that she encountered a lot of incomprehension when writing. Many people felt that her story was just a small complaint about a young female assistant, without in-depth exploration of more fundamental workplace issues. "If I had known the reaction would be so strong, I probably wouldn't have written the book," Weisberg said. Although she doesn't care about the public's opinion of her dressing style, it is obvious that she has had an impact on the work. Still feeling mixed. As times change, Weisberg's story not only presents the fashion industry, but also reflects the voices of young people in today's workplace. She pointed out that the resistance to unreasonable workplace requirements in the book is actually a preview of the current Z generation breaking stereotypes and seeking work-life balance. In the past, the "patience" promoted by workplace culture no longer applies. "It was a different time, and now young people are more willing to speak up for themselves," she said.
Regarding the upcoming musical, Weisberg said it would be the perfect opportunity to bring this classic story into the new century. She is looking forward to the staged presentation and revealed that some new plot elements will be added to the play to better convey the constant changes and challenges faced by women in today's workplace.
"The Devil Wears Prada" not only changed Weisberg's life, but also promoted conversations throughout the fashion industry. Meryl Streep's classic performance in the film made this character more three-dimensional and deeply rooted in the hearts of movie fans, becoming an eternal memory in the hearts of movie fans. Weisberg was also full of praise for this: "Meryl played Miranda vividly and complexly, making her not just a female boss, but a deep character."
With the upcoming debut of the musical, many Fans and viewers can’t wait to experience this new version of the story. At the same time, the controversy caused by Weisberg's experience and works also provide us with deeper thoughts on the workplace, often making people reflect on the subtle relationship between power and responsibility.
The resurgence of "The Devil Wears Prada" is not only a tribute to past works, but also another recognition of the power of women in the contemporary workplace. We hope that the musical can spark new discussions and resonance on the stage and bring us more enlightenment.
