Pretty Woman: The Musical returns to the UK
One of Hollywood's most beloved romantic comedies is heading back on the road. Pretty Woman: The Musical returns for a major UK tour in 2027, bringing Vivian and Edward's unlikely love story to stages across the country, including a week at Sunderland Empire fromTuesday 29 June to Saturday 3 July 2027. Casting is yet to be announced.
Vivian and Edward are unlikely soulmates who overcome all odds to find each other, and themselves. The show takes the iconic moments audiences love from the 1990 film and reimagines them for the stage in what critics have called a dazzlingly joyous love story. At its heart is the Roy Orbison and Bill Dee classic Oh, Pretty Woman, the song that inspired the whole thing, woven into a brand new score.
The production is brought to life by a powerhouse creative team. Direction and choreography comes from two-time Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell, whose previous credits include Kinky Boots, Legally Blonde and Hairspray. The score, described by the Daily Mail as blazing rock, was written by Grammy winner Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, the songwriting duo behind Summer of '69 and Heaven. The book is by the film's own director Garry Marshall and screenwriter J.F. Lawton.
The show had its world premiere in Chicago in March 2018 before transferring to Broadway's Nederlander Theatre. A German production opened in Hamburg in September 2019 to rave reviews, and a US tour followed in October 2021. In the UK, the production opened at the West End's Piccadilly Theatre on 13 February 2020, later relocating to the Savoy Theatre from July 2021, where it ran until June 2023. A sell-out first UK and Ireland tour launched that October. This new 2027 tour marks the show's return to British stages.
