She was essentially playing Miranda Priestley when she played Wilhemina slater in Ugly Betty. So this is a role that fits her like a glove.
Vanessa Williams is a national hero!!❤❤❤
She is iconic and so perfect for this role. 😱😍💗🫶
She looks fantastic at 61.
I know still so beautiful
I love Vanessa Williams!!! Beautiful and talented!!! She saves the best for last!!!💋
A must for Broadway. Vanessa, so icon 😍🤩💐
Vanessa Williams is freaking national treasure!! Goddess!!!
I’m convinced that Vanessa is the most beautiful woman in the world. She’s incredibly beautiful and if she had been alive in Roman times empires would’ve been laid at her feet.
TALENTED TOO
What a powerhouse!! She is getting BETTER with age!!!❤
Oh, this is exciting! PLEASE bring this to Broadway!!!!
She is perfect for Miranda Priestly on stage.
I wish them a lot of success.
Gorgeous! Iconic! Talented!
She is a superstar. Cannot wait for this.
Absolute LOVED her in Ugly Betty and also she sang my favourite Disney song ever. She's gonna kill this!
She is perfection
I have always loved her and I love her and her work still go ahead
Pureeeee talent love
The only Miss America we remember!
True! Though as a Batman fan I have a soft spot for Lee Merriweather.
She is ICONIC!
Very beautiful Vanessa Williams ❤
she is going to be fabulous in the musical!
Best of luck Vanessa. Take the UK by storm. Hope to see you on Broadway soon.
BRILLIANT - VANESSA IS A STAR HERSELF
She is brilliant!
She look so great with 60 years ❤❤❤ I love she for her great Songs „The sweetest days“ and „Save the best for last“
Yessssssssssss she's so beautiful 😍 ❤
I love her.❤
Love the devil wears Prada I can see her in this role.
Another role I would love to see her take on is Mame Denis from Auntie Mame . I think she would be amazing.
se ve hermosa una gran actriz y una gran cantante
An icon calling another icon (Elton John) an ICON.....I absolutely love it. Legendary!❤
She’s going perfect , WE NEED A REMAKE THE MOVIE ALREADY.
She sang “Lazy afternoon” at city center decades ago. It was incredible and I can’t find a video or audio of her performance.
I'm curious to see how Miranda's "low volume" speaking voice will translate to a singing/belting register. I wonder if we will feel the same "Miranda" magic that captivates so much.
My thoughts precisely. What made her so intimidating was that she never raised her voice. She spoke more with her eyes and the terrifying pursing of her lips that could kill careers. Vanessa Williams will make the character her own, but the small subtleties that defined her from any other "boss from hell" doesn't scream Broadway at all, and when at 4:32 she muses on how fun it is to play "over the top" villains, she confirms it. Sure, Miranda Priestly is a villain, but far from "over the top."
She should be a Judge for the Australia’s Got Talent 🇦🇺
What a great interview
OMG PERFECT CASTING MISS VW !! would love to see that !!
I am hoping to see this :) I bet it is FUN!
Yes. This feels good, feels natural, feels right. Can't wait to see here in this role and if Sir Elton John is involved it'll be magic.
How can you possibly miss mentioning her iconic role on Desperate Housewives?? Ugly Betty is what you came up with??
Interviewer: where do you even begin to channel Miranda?
She is THE Wilhelmina Slater after all. 🔥👠
THEY FUTILITY ATTEMPTED TO SHAME & DESTROY HER...NOPE!!!! GIVE THIS ICONIC QUEEN HER F***** FLOWERS!!!!
I. Cannot. Wait! 🔥🔥🔥
Wish i could see it.
Congrats London...I hope it comes to America too
Love her!!❤
Love Vanessa ❤
I love Ugly Betty!!! Funny show!!!
She's basically playing the same character with a different name
wow.hello queen vanessa.
Would love to see this.
Wilamina Slater is now Miranda Priestley?
Wow!
Meryl Streep would done this Spectacular. She's a great singer and dancer. That role its hers.
The very last scene in Ugly Betty happens in Trafalgar Square where Betty walks towards the fountains and the lion statues.
Such fun
Just as Anna Wintour loomed over Meryl Streep, Vanessa Williams has a Godzilla-sized shadow standing over her. What made Meryl Streep's Miranda so intimidating is that she spoke more with her icy stare. Her words don't matter as much as the way she purses her lips. Perhaps most importantly, _she never raised her voice._
These are traits lifted from Wintour herself. Yes, Vanessa Williams absolutely deserves the opportunity to create her own take on the character, but Miranda Priestly belting out "Rose's Turn" isn't Miranda Priestly anymore. She's Wilhelmina Slater. You can bet she knows perfectly well that if her fashionista is simply a rehash of her _Ugly Betty_ role, the critics will be savage as Miranda Preistly herself. Meryl's interpretation.
I would love to see this. London or New York.
I live London getting tickers
She's going to EAT THIS UP
This is how I find out she sang “Saved the Best For Last”? 🤯
Did you know Cher sang “Gypsies,Tramps and Thieves”?
Are you coming to Chicago????
I wish Elton John would not write musicals. I am sick of the pop trend in musical theatre, but I do love Vanessa.
🐐👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👑
🤘🔥❤🔥👏
I’m so down!
Lookz good
sooo Wilhemina slater ver 2
Wilhelmina slater is back😢
Has anyone looked at those pic lately? 😂😂 By today’s standards they were tame.
oh noooo.
My shero is going to be better than our yesteryear Asè-ONE love ❤️ Self-familyCare
🎨👠💄👹
I also loved Emma stone as Rosa Parks in the musical Black of the Bus.
I was a die hard fan of vanessa williams, untill i met her at the airport and i was devastated!! She was so rude, no manners, so much attitude! Sorry she is vile ! She Lost a fan that day !
Why Americans change everything into a musical..😂
Broadway is dead. These musicals based on half baked movies is the death nell of the theater.
Love Vanessa, but this movie shouldn’t be touched. Meryl killed that role and it’s like Hillary Duff remaking a Mariah song. #sorrynotsorry
A totally unnecessary musical. Love her tho.
My goodness, aging so beautifully and still incredibly gorgeous! Someone needs to get their hands on Ms. Williams genetic sample and put in a bottle 😂
Word
I love her ❤
