Awards and what the Critics say "Pretty Woman has appeal in the energetic individuality of its chorus members and supporting players." Sarah Downs, New York Theatre Guide "Much of the show plays like a scene-for-scene facsimile of the movie, right down to large chunks of dialogue and the iconic outfits worn by Barks... But judging by the teary sighs, laughs and cheers of recognition, moist-eyed nostalgia appears to be exactly what the audience wants." David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter "Pretty Woman goes all-in on fantasy. It's a morally uplifting fairy tale of which everyone, young and old alike, can be sceptical." Bob Verini, Variety
Interesting facts about Pretty Woman The Pretty Woman movie was originally written to be a cautionary tale of sex work and drug addiction, luckily for fans the production company decided it should be a romantic comedy instead.
Casting of the movie was a lengthy process with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts not being the first choice for the lead roles.
The film takes inspiration for its plot from the opera featured in the film - La Traviata.
