The canniest celebrities know their fans, and how to play to them. And so it was that—much to the delight of the Devil Wears Prada fans in the audience at Broadway’s James Earl Jones Theatre—Anne Hathaway and Anna Wintour made a surprise joint appearance at Wednesday night’s performance of Gutenberg! The Musical!
Thankfully, there was no blue sweater in sight.
The show, starring Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad, features at its climax a celebrity playing a Broadway producer who announces they will finance the men’s characters, Doug and Bud’s crazy show about printing press founder Johannes Gutenberg. So far, those “producers” have included stars like Steve Martin, Patti LuPone, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Kerry Washington.
