About the show
Pretty Woman, the tale of the unlikely relationship between a Hollywood sex worker and a high-powered businessman, is a modern classic. The 1990 film starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere is the highest-grossing romantic comedy of all time, with an immeasurable influence on popular culture. After a successful run on Broadway, this stage adaptation transfers to the West End in 2020, bringing big laughs, great tunes and heart-warming romance to the Piccadilly Theatre.
Vivian Ward is a down-and-out sex worker making a living in the seedy underbelly of LA. After being dumped by his girlfriend, slick corporate raider Edward Lewis hires Vivian to escort him to multiple business and social events over the course of a week. Through a series of comedic misadventures, a romance blossoms between the pair, challenging their perceptions of class and society.
Pretty Woman: The Musical opened in Broadway’s Nederlander Theatre in July 2018 and ran for just over a year, winning over thousands of fans. Legendary rock artist Bryan Adams wrote the music and lyrics with his frequent collaborator Jim Vallance, resulting in powerful, feel-good numbers that will leave every audience member moved and uplifted.
In the West End, Aimie Atkinson stars as Vivian, having previously appeared in Six and In the Heights. She is joined by White Christmas and On the Town star Danny Mac as Edward. Other cast members include Rachael Wooding (We Will Rock You) as Kit De Luca, Bob Harms (Come From Away) as Happy Man/Mr. Thompson, Neil McDermott (Eugenius!) as Philip Stuckey and Mark Holden as James Morse.
Direction and choreography for Pretty Woman: The Musical are provided by two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde, Hairspray). The book is written by the creators of the original film; director Gary Marshall and screenwriter J. F. Lawton.
After seducing audiences on Broadway with its classic Hollywood tale, Pretty Woman: The Musical at the Piccadilly Theatre is set to be a huge success in London. Catch the show from 13 February 2020.
