Review: The Devil Wears Prada 2

Posted on by

I attended the premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” last week, courtesy of Disney Studios Africa.

Two decades later, the heels are higher, the comebacks are sharper, and the fashion world is still as cutthroat as ever,  but this time, it comes with a layer of introspection we didn’t quite expect.

Review: Pretty Woman – The Musical

If you are looking for a night of pure, unadulterated nostalgia wrapped in high-energy theatre, then “Pretty Woman: The Musical” at Montecasino’s Teatro is a mandatory stop. It isn’t just a stage adaptation; it is a vibrant, rhythmic tribute to a story that defined a generation of romantic comedies.

A Cinematic Experience on Stage:

It hits every major story beat with precision, the iconic red dress, the high-stakes polo match, and that famous jewelry box snap, ensuring fans of the film feel right at home. The transition from screen to stage is seamless, using clever set changes that transport you instantly from the gritty streets of Hollywood Boulevard to the gilded luxury of the Beverly Wilshire.
