News about Beth Leavel

On Sunday, the musical premiere at the Nederlander Theatre in Chicago. Critics snared the musical, with the kindest reports advising that it needs some 'tailoring' to prepare for Broadway and the harshest calling it irredeemable. In the New York Post, Johnny Oleksinski wrote, "Every song is lousy, and there is nothing here that is worth fixing." The show pulled out all of the stops in its production, including rocker and hit-tested Broadway writer Elton John to handle the score, and Tony award winner Beth Leavel to play Runway magazine editor Miranda Priestly. Despite being renowned for its fame and glamorous subject, the musical managed to do something but shine on Sunday evening.
