Based on the tale of unexpected romance in the late ’80s, Pretty Woman features original music and lyrics by Grammy Award-winner Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance and a book by the movie’s director Garry Marshall and the original film’s screenwriter J F Lawton.

It has previously had successful runs in Chicago and on Broadway, as well as in the West End and a sell-out UK tour in 2023. 

The show has direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell, with a wider creative team including scenic design by David Rockwell, costumes by Tom Rogers adapted from the original Broadway designs by Gregg Barnes, lighting design by Kenneth Posner and Philip S Rosenberg, sound design by John Shivers, hair design by Josh Marquette, and music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Will Van Dyke with direction recreated by Dominic Shaw. 

The tour will open at the New Wimbledon Theatre on 10 March 2027, and will then visit Manchester, Milton Keynes, York, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Sunderland, Southampton, Hull, Stoke-on-Trent, Leeds, Oxford, Bristol, Liverpool, Nottingham, Woking and Aberdeen, with further venues are to be announced alongside casting.

The production is produced by ATG Productions, Paula Wagner, Nice Productions, LPO and Gavin Kalin Productions.
