But although the pair find themselves growing increasingly close, the differences between them only grow more apparent.

The music and lyrics in Pretty Woman the musical comes from the powerful creative team of Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. Adams, the wildly successful recording artist and creator of 14 beloved studio albums, chose not to watch the film whilst writing so that his work would not be influenced by it. His partnership with Vallance is forty years strong, and Vallance has also worked with other top-selling artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith and Michael Bublé.
Expect dazzling choreography and set design, powerful ballads that will blow you away, and an irresistibly romantic story brought you by the team that first told it thirty years ago.
