“A familiar story, with a twist” was clearly the inspo behind Majestic Repertory’s latest show, The Devil Wears Payless. Unless you’ve been hiding in a closet for the last 20 years, you know that’s a nod to the bestseller-turned movie The Devil Wears Prada.

Everyone knows Vogue U.S. editor Anna Wintour, whom Meryl Streep’s hard-charging film character was modelled after. But Payless is also a familiar cultural reference, as those of us of a certain age will remember Payless Shoe Source, a low-budget shoe store famous for its cheap knockoffs of name-brand kicks. This satire, true to its name, juxtaposes both ideas — opulence and frugality — in a comedic kicker of a play, as Streep's character is now associated with fashion disasters as opposed to that season’s in-demand items.
