Pretty Woman is a musical with music and lyrics by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, and a book by Garry Marshall and J. F. Lawton. [1] The musical is based on the 1990 film of the same name written by Lawton and directed by Marshall. It centers on the relationship that develops between Vivian Ward, a free spirited Hollywood prostitute, and Edward Lewis, a wealthy businessman who hires her for a week to be his escort for several business and social functions.

Contents

The original production of Pretty Woman premiered at the Oriental Theatre, Chicago in March 2018, with direction and choreography by Jerry Mitchell, and starring Samantha Barks and Steve Kazee, as Vivian and Edward. It made its Broadway debut at the David T. Nederlander Theatre on August 16, 2018, and closed one year later on August 18, 2019. [2]

Background

The musical is based on the 1990 film Pretty Woman . [3] The film was produced on a budget of just $14 million, [4] earning over $463 million in global box office receipts. [5] Written by J. F. Lawton, and directed by Garry Marshall, the musical centers around Vivian Ward, a free spirited Hollywood prostitute who lives with her sarcastic wisecracking Greek American best friend and roommate Kit De Luca. Kit taught Vivian the prostitute trade. Vivian is hired by Edward Lewis, a handsome wealthy businessman, to be his escort for several business and social functions, and their developing relationship over the course of her week-long stay with him. [6]

In March 2014, it was announced that a musical adaptation of the film was being developed for the stage, with original screenwriter Lawton and director Marshall attached to write the book. [7] The following year Marshall revealed that rights had been secured. [8] Although Marshall died in July 2016, [9] producer Paula Wagner said that work on the musical would continue. [10] In September 2017, it was announced that the show would receive its world premiere at the Oriental Theatre, Chicago, before an expected Broadway transfer in fall 2018. [5]

In an interview, director Jerry Mitchell said that the score "will have the feel of late '80s-early '90s rock: That’s one of the great things about Bryan Adams—it's where he lives. So you’ve got the rock and roll stuff, the up-tempos." [11] Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman" was originally excluded from the musical. [12] On June 19, 2019, the show included "Oh, Pretty Woman" during the curtain call. [13]

Chicago and Broadway

Pretty Woman made its world premiere at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago, Illinois on March 13, 2018, [14] for a limited five week run until April 15.

Musical numbers

The musical numbers from the original Broadway production are as follows:

A number of songs Adams and Vallance wrote for the musical ended up not being used in the show itself. However, several of them were included in subsequent Bryan Adams albums: "Please Stay" was recorded for the 2018 compilation album Ultimate , "I Could Get Used to This" can be found on the 2019 album Shine a Light , and "I've Been Looking for You" was included in the 2022 album So Happy It Hurts . Adams also re-recorded all the songs that did make it into the show for the album Pretty Woman – The Musical , released March 2022.

Bryan Adams expressed some frustration about the songwriting process for the musical in the Dutch newspaper Metro . "Writing that musical was a masterclass in songwriting, it was also a masterclass in not losing your mind, as there was so much re-writing and rejection during the process of the production. But that doesn’t mean that the rejected songs haven’t found a home. I love I've Been Looking for You, Please Stay, and I Could Get Used to This, and of course it’s too bad they aren’t in the musical, but that’s the way the Broadway ball bounces." [54]

Critical reception

Pretty Woman was generally poorly received by critics, with the show's writing being a frequent focus of criticism. Critics found that the gender dynamics of the movie's plot had aged poorly and that the musical had failed to bring the story up to date for 2018. [62] In his review for The New York Times , Ben Brantley criticized the verbatim reuse of dialog from the movie, writing that the show's creators had "hewed suffocatingly close to the film’s story, gags and dialogue." Critics from The Guardian and Variety took issue with the show's glossiness and what they perceived as an attempt to make a "G-rated family show" from the source material. [62] [63]

The score by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance was generally described as "pleasant" but "bland". [64] [65] [62] Critics generally approved of the show's performers, particularly stars Andy Karl and Samantha Barks, but found they were unable to rise above the show's material. In a review for Vulture, Sara Holdren expressed sympathy for the show's performers, writing that they were "hooked up like defibrillators to a body that, no matter how much energy they pump into it, can’t be revived".
