The hit 1990 film, starring iconic duo Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, comes to life onstage in this new adaptation with music by Canadian singer/songwriter Bryan Adams (who had 1980s hits like “Summer of ’69” and “Run to You”) and his songwriting partner, Jim Vallance.

The story centers on Vivian Ward, a prostitute hired by rich entrepreneur Edward Lewis to accompany him for a week in Los Angeles. Edward showers Vivian with large sums of cash for an elegant shopping spree, while her old friends from the block start to get jealous. As Vivian makes the transformation from call girl to classy lady, she finds herself falling for Edward, who also begins to see Vivian beyond her profession. Directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, the grown-up Cinderella story celebrates the outsider in all of us and shows that looks and money aren’t the keys to love.

What to watch for

Andy Karl, who stars as Edward, is married to actress Orfeh, who plays Vivian’s best friend, Kit.

Jerry Mitchell both directs and choreographs “Pretty Woman,” his third time taking on both duties on Broadway following “Legally Blonde” and “Kinky Boots.”

“Pretty Woman” has been adapted for the stage by the same creative team behind the original 1990 film: director Garry Marshall and writer J.F. Lawton. Although Marshall died while the musical was still in development, producer Paula Wagner said, “I know he would have wanted us to continue on and therefore we will bring this story to Broadway.”
