An unforgettable love story originally written by J . F Lawton and brought to our screens by Garry Marshall in 1990 . Later , a record-breaking hit on Broadway , Pretty Woman : The Musical is now taking the world by storm in its theatrical incarnation .
Following the tale of two people , initially worlds apart , but , once their pathways cross , a whirlwind partnership of self-discovery , growth and adoration , the fabulous Aimie Atkinson takes on the role of spirited Vivian Ward , and charming Danny Mac steps firmly into the shoes of businessman Edward Lewis . Outstanding scenic sets transform the stage and feature all of the dazzling sights of Hollywood , perfectly captured by designer David Rockwell . You can expect an evening full of awe-inspiring performance , all encompassing joy and most importantly , a whole lot of love .
From shopping on Rodeo Drive to checking into Hollywood hotels , you are immersed into the story of Vivian and Edward from start to finish . With original music and lyrics from Grammy ® award winner Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance , which expertly accompanies the journey . Of course featuring international hits , the production wouldn ’ t be the same without ‘ Oh , Pretty Woman ’ by Roy
Orbinson and Bill Dee , a 1964 release that actually inspired the movie ’ s catchy title . Prepare to be transported into a whole new world , while joining in with a spirited sing along too .
With a vast collection of stamps of approval from expectant fans stacking up as they go , and songs of praise to be heard from the entertainment industry and beyond , it ’ s no surprise tickets are flying out fast . This truly is a production steaming ahead with brilliance and pulling at the heart strings of all generations . From decades of being a worldwide rom-com favourite , to an extraordinary tale now passionately brought to life on stage , its meticulously designed elements combine with pure talent and enthralling storytelling to create an atmosphere that ’ s bound to have you swept up entirely . From the minute you enter the theatre , right up until the last scene , you are a part of something brilliant ; this is an experience you will not want to miss .
