Pretty Woman – the musical is the stage adaptation of the 1990 film of the same name. The story is based on the book by Gary Marshall, with a screenplay by J.F. Lawton. Pretty Woman – The Musical is a love story about Vivian, a sex worker, and Edward, a wealthy New York executive. Edward acquires Vivian’s service while he’s staying in Los Angeles. They get along pretty well despite their contrasting personalities. Apart from accompanying him privately, Edward also wants to bring Vivian to dinner with a lawyer and some associates. Thus, he teaches Vivian some dining etiquette and gives her some money to shop for clothes. However, her shopping trip didn’t go quite as planned after Vivian encountered a rude saleslady. Eventually, Vivian finds the perfect dress and goes to dinner with Edward.
What seems to be a fairytale dream come true for Vivian takes a turn when Edward’s lawyer discovers her true identity and makes an indecent proposal. What will happen when Edward and Vivian’s arrangement is over? Has Edward fallen in love? Pretty Woman’s theater adaptation pays homage to the favorite ‘90s film by inserting several iconic scenes, including Vivian’s shopping dilemma at a high-end store.
