‘Pretty Woman’ Musical Coming to Broadway Starring Samantha Barks!

The musical of Pretty Woman is coming to Broadway in the fall of 2018, starring Samantha Barks, who starred in the film adaptation of Les Miserables!

The musical will feature music and lyrics from Grammy winner Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. Tony winner Steve Kazee will be playing the role made famous by Richard Here while she takes on the role made famous by Julia Roberts (of course!).

Jerry Mitchell will be directing and choreographing as well.

“From the first time I saw this magical movie I felt it cried out to be a musical,” Jerry said in a statement. “Pretty Woman is a classic story with a very contemporary message. I think we all want to fall deeply in love with someone — it is something you never stop hoping for. I got to work with Garry for over a year on this musical adaptation and experienced firsthand his sense of humor, his joy, his uplifting attitude in life, and mostly his love for these characters. … I want that to infuse what I am doing with Pretty Woman: The Musical as he is the true heart of this story.”
