Broadway and West End smash-hit musical ‘Pretty Woman: The Musical’ will make its Australian debut this year, at Queensland Performing Arts Centre in Brisbane.
The show is based on the much-loved iconic film starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, with music and lyrics from singer-songwriter Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance.
“I’m thrilled ‘Pretty Woman’ is finally in Australia, I went to see it last year and it blew me away!” Bryan says.
The musical broke box office records on Broadway at the Nederlander Theatre in 2018. It’s also wowed audiences in Spain, Italy, Poland, Germany and an extended West End season.

“I first saw this on the West End in London and just loved it and knew immediately that I needed to bring it to Australia. I’m so excited to premiere this production in Brisbane,” Producer Suzanne Jones says.
Once upon a time, in the late ’80s, Vivian met Edward. . . And her life changed forever. ‘Pretty Woman’ is the story of their romance – a love story for the ages, where you can get to know these character in a whole new way. With a blazing rock score from GRAMMY winners Bryan Adams and Jim Valance, direction and choreography from Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell, and a book by the original film’s director Garry Marshall and screenwriter J.F Lawton, you’re guaranteed to have a pretty magical time.
