About the stage adaptation of “Pretty Woman,” one of the highest-grossing romantic comedies of all time
The 1990 film “Pretty Woman,” starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, became a global sensation and remains a beloved classic. After a successful run in Chicago, the story has been brought to Broadway as a musical. The role of Vivian Ward is played by British singer and actress Samantha Barks, known for her performances in the West End’s “Cabaret” and “Aladdin,” as well as the 2010 film “Les Misérables.” This Broadway production marks her first time performing “Pretty Woman” in front of Julia Roberts herself, and photos of the two together quickly became a hot topic.
