What's Pretty Woman The Musical Like?
Pretty Woman is a classic film destined to find an even wider audience through the musical adaptation. The lead male part of Edward Lewis is certain to be moving and awe-inspiring as performed by Steve Kazee, who took the audience’s breath away in starring in the 2012 Tony Award winning musical Once. Samantha Barks, who makes her Broadway debut as the lead female part Vivian Ward, earned countless awards and nominations for her portrayal as Éponine in the 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables, including the Glamour Awards honor of Pandora Breakthrough Artist and the Elle Style Award for Best Breakthrough Performance. Moreover, the director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell is unparalleled in the charisma and pizzazz that he brings to the stage through movement. This modern story paired with such dazzling songs and dance numbers will surely take this story to a whole new level.

The show is most appropriate for those over the age of 13. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.
