Get ready to step back into the late ’80s as one of Hollywood’s most beloved love stories comes alive on stage next year.
Pretty Woman: The Musical will make its South African debut at Artscape Theatre from 18 March to 19 April, before heading to Johannesburg’s Montecasino Teatro.
Brimming with warmth, humour and romance, this dazzling stage adaptation of the 1990 film, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, promises a feel-good evening packed with laughter and nostalgia.
Music by Bryan Adams
With music and lyrics by pop-rock legend Bryan Adams and his long-time collaborator Jim Vallance, the show blends Hollywood glamour with Broadway sparkle.
“I went to see it last year and it blew me away!” Adams told Variety, describing how the film’s magic translates effortlessly to the stage. Fans can look forward to the timeless Roy Orbison classic Oh, Pretty Woman, alongside a fresh soundtrack of ballads and high-energy showstoppers.
Storyline
When fate brings together the unlikely pairing of Vivian and Edward, they take a leap of faith — on each other, and on love. The result is a joyous, uplifting celebration that captures all the charm of the original film while giving it new life through music and movement.
