“Theatergoers across the country will finally get the chance to experience the timeless love story they know and love, reimagined live on stage. Pretty Woman: The Musical is an opportunity to escape everything that has been on our minds for the last very difficult year. It’s an opportunity to enjoy the nostalgia, and celebrate once again with friends and family. Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance have written a pop-rock score with soaring ballads and beautiful, big production numbers that, under the direction of two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, burst off the stage with humor and heart. Garry Marshall’s film Pretty Woman redefined a genre, and now audiences across America will experience all the romance, comedy and passion in this unforgettable and imaginative new musical,” said producer Paula Wagner.
