“Pretty Woman” is the latest movie-to-musical adaptation coming to Broadway, and the production has found its leads.
Tony-winner Stave Kazee will play the stage version of Richard Gere’s Edward, a single, rich businessman in need of a weeklong companion. The companion, Vivian, for whom he develops feelings, will be played by Samantha Barks, best known for her portrayal of Eponine in the 2012 “Les Misérables” film.
The show will come to the Great White Way in the fall of 2018 following a five-week preview in Chicago at the Oriental Theater beginning March 13, 2018.
The team behind the Garry Marshall movie adaptation includes Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance creating original music and lyrics, book by Marshall and J.F. Lawton, who wrote the screenplay, and Jerry Mitchell directing and choreographing. No other names have been announced for additional roles, but Telsey + Company is casting the production. NYC Broadway hopefuls should keep an ear out for more opportunities to join the cast.
